Long Island University - Brooklyn

From Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

Long Island University (LIU) is a private, coeducational, nonsectarian institution of higher education in the State of New York in the United States (U.S.).

History

LIU was chartered in 1926 in Brooklyn by the New York State Education Department to provide “effective and moderately priced education” to people from “all walks of life.” In 1947, recognizing the educational needs of the growing number of families moving to the suburbs, LIU purchased in Brookville the estate of Mrs. Joseph P. Davis, better known as Marjorie Merriweather Post. Seven years later, the C.W. Post campus was founded at this site.

In 1963, LIU established a third campus, located in Southampton. However, the management of this campus became too costly; as a result, it was sold to the State University of New York (SUNY) at Stony Brook in 2006. LIU's master's degree programs at this campus were transferred to Riverhead. Ownership of LIU's bachelor’s degree programs, located at Southampton, was transferred to SUNY Stony Brook.

Organization

LIU is administered by a president and board of trustees who elects the president. The two main campuses are governed by a chancellor, chosen by the chairperson of the board of trustees. The two main campuses each have a provost.

Campuses

LIU has two main campuses and four branch campuses. The main campuses are located in Brooklyn and Brookville. The branch campuses are in Brentwood and Riverhead, as well as Rockland and Westchester counties.

The Brooklyn campus is LIU's first permanent site, established in 1926. The campus, located at the intersection of Flatbush and De Kalb avenues (across the street from Junior's restaurant), includes the former Brooklyn Paramount Theater, the world’s first theater built specifically for talking pictures. The theater, which abuts the original core campus, was bought in 1960 by LIU and converted into a gymnasium in 1963. Parts of the theater's balcony were used as lecture rooms. The theater's original Wurlitzer organ is used during the Brooklyn campus' Blackbirds' home basketball games. The campus is recognized by the New York Times as being one of the most diverse in the U.S. and is home to the prestigious George Polk Awards in journalism.

Best Answer

You might be able to be accepted into LIU Brooklyn. I know the SAT isn't required for that school, but if you take it and do better than their averages, that could help you re: admissions. Their averages are around: Critical Reading: 390 - 500 Math: 400 - 560 If your scores are more in the middle or high end of their ranges, rather than the low end, that'd be of benefit to you. But you certainly should apply. It's possible you could get in, so you should try.

Long Island University is a good school, not as highly ranked as Columbia or NYU, nevertheless it has a good reputation with many alumni working today in Manhattan. The major campus of LIU, however, is not in Brooklyn, it's on Long Island and called C.W. Post. LIU has a good business program.
