One of the nation’s leading public urban universities, City University of New York City (CUNY) offers exceptional academics and a level of diversity that rivals many others schools nationwide.

One of CUNY’s eleven branches, Kingsborough Community College (KCC) is located in Brooklyn, New York.

With over 30,000 students in attendance, KCC offers academics that are not only high quality, but also extensive.

Associate’s degrees are offered in everything from Accounting to Fashion Design to Speech Communications to Physical Therapy Assisting. There are also career certifications in such fields as Aviation and Cruise Operations, Personal Training and Substance Abuse Counseling.

Students who graduate with an associate’s degree from KCC are guaranteed admission to one of the senior CUNY colleges. Additionally, many KCC students go on to attend such prestigious universities as Cornell, Smith, NYU and Northeastern.

KCC hosts hundreds of free and low-cost cultural events each year, including an author-reading series, a summer music festival and a performing arts festival.

For those who wish to move directly from KCC into a career, KCC’s career services are wide-reaching in their offerings. Student mentors and counselors help students to choose a suitable career and effectively search for and land a job.

Financial aid options include grants, loans, work-study and scholarships, any of which may be available to eligible students.
