It was founded in 1875 by the Sisters of Saint Joseph to train teachers. The school obtained a state charter and became Mount Saint Joseph College in 1937. In 1968 the school enlarged its mission and gained its current name. Its enrollment is now 2,400 students. Medaille College has additional campuses in Rochester, New York and Amherst, New York where it offers the accelerated and adult programs leading to associate's, bachelor's and master's degrees.

The college's mascot is the Mavericks. The school will be changing its colors in the upcoming year, from the current navy, white and blue to navy, gold, and light blue.

Currently in the Allegany Mountain Collegiate Conference (AMCC), the athletic program won two conference championships in the 2005-2006 school year, with the men's soccer team and women's basketball team each claiming conference titles.
