Best CUNY College for Engineering?

I'm a high school junior interested in studying engineering, and I'm looking at CUNY schools. Which CUNY college has the best engineering program? I'd love to hear about people’s experiences or recommendations!

a year ago

Among the CUNY schools, The City College of New York (CCNY) has a highly respected engineering program, offering a variety of specialized engineering degrees including chemical, civil, electrical, and mechanical engineering, to name a few. It's housed in the Grove School of Engineering, which is known for a strong hands-on learning curriculum. Faculty at CCNY tend to have relevant industry or research experience, offering students a practical approach to their studies.

Beyond the classroom, CCNY engineering students typically have access to state-of-the-art facilities and labs, providing a great environment for gaining practical experience and hands-on learning. There are also a number of clubs and societies for engineering students that foster networking and camaraderie, such as the American Society of Civil Engineers and National Society of Black Engineers.

Another CUNY college worth considering for engineering is New York City College of Technology, commonly known as City Tech. City Tech offers programs in areas like Civil Engineering Technology, Computer Engineering Technology, and Mechanical Engineering Technology. Although these programs may be more technological in nature, they still provide you with a strong foundation in engineering principles.

As always, be sure to visit the campuses if possible, and dig deep into the curriculum of each program you're considering. The most important thing is that the program aligns with your own interests and career goals. Good luck!
