Hey all! I'm a junior thinking about applying to some CUNY schools. I'm specifically looking for 4-year colleges in the New York area. Could anyone help me out with a list or any recommendations? Thanks in advance!
Hello! I'm glad to help you with a list of 4-year colleges within the City University of New York (CUNY) system. There are 11 senior colleges in the CUNY system located across the five boroughs of New York City. Here they are:
1. Baruch College (Manhattan)
2. Brooklyn College (Brooklyn)
3. City College of New York (Manhattan)
4. College of Staten Island (Staten Island)
5. Hunter College (Manhattan)
6. John Jay College of Criminal Justice (Manhattan)
7. Lehman College (Bronx)
8. Medgar Evers College (Brooklyn)
9. New York City College of Technology (Brooklyn)
10. Queens College (Queens)
11. York College (Queens)
Keep in mind that each CUNY college has its own strengths and focus areas. For instance, Baruch College is well-known for its business programs, while the City College of New York has strong engineering and architecture programs. Hunter College stands out for its liberal arts and sciences, and John Jay College of Criminal Justice is ideal for students interested in criminal justice, forensics, and public affairs.
I recommend researching each college's programs and campus environment to find the best fit for your interests and goals. Don't forget to visit the CUNY website and individual college websites for more information on admissions requirements, application deadlines, and financial aid. Good luck with your college search!
