In recent years, the College has added new degree programs in high demand, emerging fields including business, computer science, health care, and energy; funded an honors scholarship program in all four academic schools; secured funding for a new building to support computer sciences and information systems programs; and achieved the prestigious Carnegie Foundation Classification for civic engagement. More than half of our students graduate debt-free and 82% are employed six months after graduation or enrolled in graduate school. Approximately 78% of graduates stay and are working on Long Island six months after graduation.
