Brooklyn Colleges & Universities

Walking through Brooklyn College's campus, you're stepping into one of the City University of New York's anchor institutions. CUNY itself operates as a sprawling network spanning all five boroughs, bringing together eleven four-year colleges, six community colleges, plus graduate, law, and medical programs under one banner. Across these locations, more than 200,000 students pursue degrees each year. Winter on the Brooklyn campus brings a quiet focus to the grounds—students bundled in coats between classes, the pathways lined with bare trees—creating an intimate backdrop for serious academic work in this major public university system.

St. Francis College is a private, independent co-educational college that welcomes students from all walks of life, providing a superior liberal arts education at an affordable price. The St. Francis student benefits from small classes taught by professors who are committed to provide an education in an atmosphere of support and friendship. By integrating liberal arts and pre-professional programs, the College promotes the development of the whole person. Both the Franciscan heritage and the Catholic tradition establish a cornerstone of academic excellence, social responsibility, and mutual respect throughout the entire College community.

Medgar Evers College was founded as a result of collaborative efforts by community leaders, elected officials, the Chancellor, and the Board of Trustees of The City University of New York. The College, named for the late civil rights leader, Medgar Wiley Evers (1925-1963), was established in 1970 with a mandate to meet the educational and social needs of the Central Brooklyn community. The College is committed to the fulfillment of this mandate.
