The Brooklyn Campus of Long Island University, founded in 1926, is truly cosmopolitan — in the breadth of its programs; in its vibrant urban setting; in its student population, drawn from every state in the nation and from more than 100 foreign countries; and in its distinguished faculty. The Campus, with its modern buildings, laboratories and open quadrangles, is at the geographical center of New York City, near charming and historic brownstones of Brooklyn Heights. Within walking distance are the Brooklyn Academy of Music, the Brooklyn Museum, the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, and Brooklyn’s main civic and shopping areas. Within a short subway ride are Wall Street, Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center with the world famous Metropolitan Opera, the Broadway theater district, a wealth of great museums and the United Nations.

The Campus has art galleries, lounges, a complete bookstore, theater, conference facilities, gymnasiums and an athletic field. A six-story, state-of-the-art Health Sciences Center housing additional lab and classroom space opened during Fall 1995. The new Jeanette and Edmund T. Pratt, Jr. Center for Academic Studies opened in Fall 2000.

The Campus is alive with cultural activities, choral and orchestral music, poetry reading, engaging discussion and athletic competition featuring champion All-American teams in basketball, soccer, and baseball. There are more than 75 clubs, honor societies, and academic organizations. The Library-Learning Center, situated in the middle of the Campus, commands more than 400,000 volumes, a large media center for self-paced instruction, a complex of communication studios for audio, graphics, television, and photography, and high-tech computer laboratories.

The Brooklyn Campus has an experienced teaching and research faculty. Students find that their teachers care — about them, about their academic and intellectual growth and about their future. Classes are small, led by scholars with national and international reputations. Students often work alongside their professors on research projects sponsored by the city, state, or federal government and foundations.

Here, students benefit from careful academic advisement, strong programs of study, and a placement office with a proven record for finding jobs. Over 30,000 alumni, networked throughout the nation in leadership positions, help to make this possible. The Brooklyn Campus is best judged by its graduates: those who go on for advanced study — with scholarships or fellowships, those who become physicians and health practitioners, lawyers, senior executives, journalists, government and political leaders, scientists, business professionals and, of course, teachers and professors. By any criteria, the Brooklyn Campus is a place for those truly desirous of not just making a living but making a life.

The Brooklyn Campus’ almost 8,000 undergraduate and graduate students elect to study in the nearly 200 academic programs of Conolly College of Arts and Sciences, the School of Business, Public Administration and Information Sciences, the School of Nursing, the School of Education, the School of Health Professions and the Arnold & Marie Schwartz College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences. The University Honors Program, among the best in the nation, invites students to participate in exciting interdisciplinary studies while pursuing departmental majors.
