School Description

Provided by CUNY College of Staten Island

The College of Staten Island, one of the 11 senior colleges of The City University of New York, is, like the University, committed to both access and excellence. This double commitment is especially critical given CSI’s status as the only public college on Staten Island and the one instance in which CUNY is represented in a borough by one unit alone. The College offers the associate degree in selected areas, a comprehensive range of baccalaureate programs, selected master’s programs, and, in cooperation with the CUNY Graduate Center, doctoral programs.

The College of Staten Island is a four-year, senior college of The City University of New York that offers exceptional opportunities to all its students. Programs in the liberal arts and sciences and professional studies lead to bachelor’s and associate’s degrees. The master’s degree is awarded in 13 professional and liberal arts and sciences fields of study. The College participates in doctoral programs of The City University Graduate School and University Center in Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Physics, and Psychology.

With the range of CSI's offerings, you can pursue almost any career path. Choose from programs in fields as varied as business, education, nursing, pre-medicine, music, and computer science. CSI's general education program will help you discover how to connect and integrate all of the courses from your undergraduate studies.

CSI provides undergraduates many opportunities to work with senior faculty on research projects and to participate in strong international programs. CSI also has selective graduate programs in areas of special strength. In all we do, we never lose sight of our focus on intellectual development.

Completed in 1994, the 204-acre campus of CSI/CUNY is the largest site for a college in New York City. Set in a park-like landscape, the campus is centrally located on Staten Island. Mature trees and woodlands, flowering trees and ornamental plantings, fields and outdoor athletic facilities, the great lawn, sculpture, and seating areas create a rural oasis in an urban setting.

CUNY College of Staten Island

From Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

The College of Staten Island (CSI) is a four-year, senior college of The City University of New York and is one of the 11 senior colleges of The City University of New York (CUNY). Programs in the liberal arts and sciences and professional studies lead to bachelor's and associate's degrees. The master's degree is awarded in 13 professional and liberal arts and sciences fields of study. The College participates in doctoral programs of The City University Graduate School and University Center in Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Nursing, Physics, and Psychology.

History

It was established in 1976 from the merger of Richmond College (opened in 1965) and Staten Island Community College (opened 1956). Richmond College had been threatened with closure because of New York City's financial crisis, while the older school, because of its status as a community college, received state support. The merger was particularly logical since the community college offered two year degrees, while Richmond College was an "upper divisional" college (the third in the nation) that offered degrees to those in their third and fourth years of schooling.

The College of Staten Island has been located on the grounds of the former Willowbrook State School since 1993. It is the largest campus, in terms of physical size, in New York City. Before the relocation to Willowbrook, the college had a split campus, located at the former Staten Island Community College (in Sunnyside, on Todt Hill) and Richmond College (in St. George).

The first president of the college, Dr. Edmond Volpe, an American literature scholar, retired in 1994, after having successfully handled the merger of the two colleges and the unification of the two campuses. He was succeeded by Dr. Marlene Springer, as the second president of the college, an English and American literature scholar, under whose leadership the College improved academic standards, introduced two doctoral programs and several master's programs, raised the level of the faculty, added research institutes, and introduced an Honors College, the Verrazano School, and the CSI High School for International Studies. She retired in August 2007 and was succeeded by Tomás D. Morales, whose doctorate is in higher education administration, as the third president of the college. He has arranged for a free bus from the Staten Island ferry to the Willowbrook campus.

Best Answer

I know someone who went -- he liked it, and is going back for a graduate degree. Some of the other CUNY schools have a higher reputation, such as Baruch and Brooklyn College. But CSI has a interesting programs related to the health care professions -- nursing, physician assistant, physical therapy, etc.

I believe that Queens College has a bit of a better reputation. I know one girl who is very smart and graduated from Queens College. She's a teacher now and was quite happy with the math department there--she's an overachiever, and was still happy with the school. That being said, most if not all of the senior CUNY schools (as opposed to the two-year schools) offer a good education at a good price. Go to the one that fits you best--look at the programs offered and the general feel of the school, and take into consideration how you will feel about a long commute if one is much farther away than the other. Good luck.
