The City
College of New York - CCNY - is this nation's flagship institution of
public higher education, predating the Midwestern state land-grant
colleges by two decades. Founded by Townsend Harris to provide children
of the poor and new immigrants the higher education that could give them
access to the American dream, for more than 150 years CCNY has been a
primary avenue of advancement for generations of New York ers who might
not have had the chance to attend college. Born of a public referendum,
City College was one of the great experiments of our young democracy,
and it remains one of our great achievements.
The achievements of the College's graduates are .... Eight CCNY alumni
have won the Nobel Prize, placing City among the top ranks of public
colleges and universities nationwide. According to Standard & Poors,
City is ranked 11th in the United States in the number of graduates who
have become America's leading business executives. The list of CCNY
alumni -- from Jonas Salk to Colin Powell, from Mario Runco to Walter
Mosley, from Faith Reingold to Ernesto Quinonez - who have gone on to
influence out nation in fundamental ways is dazzling.
Today's
CCNY is a microcosm of New York City, with one of the most diverse
student bodies of any college in America. Over half of our students were
born abroad, representing some 90 countries. And these students and
recent graduates are carrying on the tradition of excellence by winning
prestigious awards and fellowships, gaining acceptance to leading
graduate and professional schools and making their marks in the
sciences, in the arts, in public service, in industry, in education.
With nearly 11,000 students, City College is really a small university,
with a College of Liberal Arts and Science and professional schools of
architecture, education, engineering and the Sophie Davis School of
Biomedical Education. In fact, the College offers more than 40 of its
own graduate degree programs and is the site of ten of the City
University of New York 's doctoral programs. Undergraduates have
opportunities here that few other public colleges offer for research and
direct contact with the same internationally-renown faculty who
supervise doctoral students. Innovative programs in environmental
engineering and science, graphic design, media arts production,
publishing, urban legal studies, urban architecture and pre-med, join
more traditional programs in science and engineering, the arts and
humanities and the social sciences have to offer you .....
The City College of New York offers academic excellence, an outstanding
faculty, low tuition and a wide range of extracurricular activities -
including nearly 100 student organizations - on a beautiful 36 acre
campus in the heart of one of the greatest cities in the world.
