History
Wagner College was founded in 1883 in Rochester, New York, as Lutheran Proseminary Rochester to train Lutheran ministers. His six-year curriculum is modeled in the German gymnasium. In 1886, his name was replaced Wagner Memorial Lutheran College after a building in Rochester was purchased for use by John G. Wagner to commemorate his son.
This college moved to a former 38 acre (Cunard) Cunard plantation on Grymes Hill, Staten Island, in 1918. Westwood, Cunard's mansion dating back to 1851, still exists (now Cunard Hall) like the former pavilion of a neighboring hotel built in 1905 (originally named North Hall and now Reynolds House). The college was soon expanded to 57 hectares (23 ha) after acquiring the adjacent Jacob Vanderbilt plantation in 1922. In 1920, the curriculum began to move towards a compacted American-style curriculum when New York state was awarded a bachelor's degree-awarding status in 1928. The college recognized the woman in 1933 and introduced the graduate program in 1951. The college expanded further when she bought the WG Ward estate in 1949 (nowhere at Wagner College Stadium), and again in 1993, when college acquired adjacent properties from the former Augustinian Academy, most of which still have green fields and athletic fields. The college now occupies 105 hectares (42 ha) on a hill and has magnificent views of New York Harbor, Verrazano Bridge, Downtown Brooklyn, and Lower Manhattan.
In the early 1960s, the Wagner College Writer's Conference hosted several prominent authors, including Edward Albee, Kay Boyle, and Kenneth Koch.

A group of modern buildings built in 1960 include the Student Union (1970), Megerle Science Building (1968), and Spiro Communication Center (1968). The Horrmann Library (1961) contains over 200,000 volumes and stores the personal collection and papers of poet Edwin Markham. 67% of students in one of four dormitories live. Spiro Sports Center (1999) is the most recent major addition, until early 2010 when colleges opened Hall Foundation, a boardinghouse for seniors.
In 2007 it was announced that a new academic building was under development for construction at the site of the former Augustinian High School. It will be the cutting-edge facility that will be the place of business, nursing, and education departments. It will also be a new and sophisticated class house. This project is now in the final planning stage.
