this urban oasis occupies 11 acres of shaded courtyards, state-of-the-art
facilities and historic buildings in the heart of a rejuvenated downtown
Brooklyn. One of the fastest-growing institutions of higher learning in the
New York metropolitan area, the Brooklyn Campus offers nearly 11,000 students
more than 110 undergraduate, graduate, and certificate programs. Its cultural
diversity, innovative academic programs, sports teams, and landscaped campus
make the Brooklyn Campus a model or urban education.
