Brooklyn College
Brooklyn College is a comprehensive, state-funded institution of higher learning in the borough of Brooklyn, a culturally and ethnically diverse community of 2.5 million people. As one of the eleven senior colleges of the City University of New York, it shares the mission of the university, whose primary goals are access and excellence.
Distinctive in this liberal arts education is the Core Curriculum, which is required of all baccalaureate students. The Core has long been a national model for general education programs and for faculty and curriculum development. Core courses are designed to expose students to the principal branches of learning humanities, social sciences,natural sciences and fine arts—and to provide a rigorous foundation for study in a major field.
The overarching goal of the educational experience at Brooklyn College
is to provide students with the knowledge and skills to live in a globally
interdependent world and the support services to help them succeed. The
college also seeks to develop a sense of personal and social responsibility
by encouraging involvement in community and public service. It fosters a
campus environment hospitable to multicultural interests and activities.
As an urban institution, it draws upon the myriad resources of the city
to enrich its educational offerings.
