Long Island University Welcomes Prospective Students to
Graduate Open House, Wednesday, December 6, 5:30-7 p.m.

Brooklyn, N.Y. – Having a graduate degree is critical to professional success these days, whether in traditional careers such as business or education or a cutting-edge field like new media arts. Long Island University’s Brooklyn Campus is opening its doors to provide information about its more than 100 doctoral, master’s and advanced certificate programs and the career opportunities they bring at a Graduate Open House.

Free and open to the public, the Graduate Open House will take place on Wednesday, December 6, from 5:30 to 7 p.m. in the Campus’s Luntey Commons. The Campus is located at the corner of DeKalb and Flatbush avenues in downtown Brooklyn.

Visitors to the open house will have the chance to meet current students from all the graduate programs, plus faculty and staff members, as well as to learn about the varied programs. For example, the business and public administration programs offer master’s degrees in the expanding fields of accounting, finance and human resources. A 15-credit certificate option in the growing specialties of gerontology administration or not-for-profit management can be taken independently or as part of the M.B.A., M.P.A. and other master’s curricula.

For those interested in design, production and media careers, innovative offerings at the Brooklyn Campus combine art and technology for master’s degrees in media arts and new media and performance. Beginners and seasoned professionals alike can build skills using the latest equipment in a state-of-the-art media facility. The School of Education, with its outstanding urban-focused programs, presents graduate degrees in bilingual and special education, areas that are in high demand and offer satisfying career options.

Conveniently accessible to major subway lines, the Brooklyn Campus can accommodate family and professional obligations. Classes meet in the evenings or weekend and have a year-round schedule with two six-week summer sessions. For more information, call (718) 488-1011 or visit www.brooklyn.liu.edu/grad_program.html.

Long Island University opened its Brooklyn Campus in 1926, welcoming a diverse population at a time when other major universities enforced quota systems against racial and ethnic minorities. Located at the corner of Flatbush Avenue Extension and DeKalb Avenue in Downtown Brooklyn, the Campus is accessible to all major bus and subway routes and the Long Island Rail Road.
