Overview
A Franciscan college in Downtown Brooklyn, long positioned as an affordable option for New York City students, many of them first-generation, with a compact urban campus rather than a traditional quad.
Academics
Business, nursing, psychology, and communications are the core programs, generally career-oriented rather than research-focused, with the city itself functioning as an extension of the classroom for internships.
Campus & student life
There is no traditional residential-campus culture in the way suburban colleges have it — most students commute or live independently in the city, and social life draws heavily on Brooklyn and Manhattan rather than campus events.
Worth knowing
This is fundamentally a commuter-friendly, city-integrated college; students looking for a traditional dorm-and-quad experience will find a different kind of school here.
