Queens College is the place for you to engage the world of ideas, prepare for your career, and enjoy the many events and activities the campus has to offer.

Affordable Excellence
For more than 70 years, Queens College has provided a premier liberal arts education to the New York metropolitan area's best and brightest. From graduate and undergraduate degrees, honors and pre-professional programs to research and internship opportunities, online courses and non-credit classes and certificates, you can realize your potential in countless ways. And you will be assisted in your efforts by an accessible, award-winning faculty dedicated to teaching, scholarship, and research.
Queens College offers nationally recognized programs—such as the Aaron Copland School of Music—in many fields. Recently added degrees include a Bachelor of Business Administration with majors in finance, international business, and actuarial studies, and a Bachelor of Science in graphic design. Queens is the ideal choice for aspiring teachers, preparing more educators than any college in the tri-state area through its innovative programs. Students admitted to the University Teacher Academy receive free tuition while working toward a degree in math or science. Queens also participates in the Macaulay Honors College and offers qualified students its own honors programs in the arts and humanities, sciences, and social sciences.
Part of the City University of New York, Queens College can offer you the best educational opportunities at a surprisingly affordable cost. It is consistently included in the Princeton Review America's Best Value Colleges, which notes, "Queens College provides a top-rate education at a bargain-basement price."
Urban Campus with a Suburban Feel
Centrally located only minutes from both midtown Manhattan and the Long Island suburbs, the campus is situated on 77 beautiful, tree-lined acres with a traditional grassy quad surrounded by both historic Spanish-style buildings and modern facilities such as the Science Building, Rosenthal Library, and Powdermaker Hall, the major classroom facility with state-of-the art digital features. Complete sports facilities include an Olympic-sized swimming pool, indoor and outdoor tennis courts, and a fully equipped fitness center. The college is also home to the Kupferberg Center for the Visual and Performing Arts, with more than a half dozen arts and entertainment venues including the Godwin-Ternbach Museum—the only comprehensive art museum in the borough of Queens.

A Diverse Campus Community
Queens College's highly diverse student population hails from more than 140 countries. "There is no typical student at Queens College, and that's what's great about the student body," say Queens College students quoted in the 2009 edition of the Princeton Review's The Best 368 Colleges. They also describe their peers as a "diverse and dedicated community." Further commenting on the college's international flavor, the Review notes, "Right outside the campus gates students will find restaurants serving everything from kosher to Korean, from pizza to pita sandwiches."
On campus, you'll find a stimulating and welcoming environment with a bustling student union and opportunities to participate in dozens of clubs and sports. With high-tech "smart" classrooms, computer kiosks, a plasma board network, cybercafé, and campus-wide Wi-Fi capability, you're always in touch with the Queens College community and the world beyond.
Proud to Say They Went to Queens
Queens College's distinguished alumni include many who are leaders in their fields. Some are household names, such as music greats Paul Simon and Marvin Hamlisch, comedian Jerry Seinfeld, and Jon Favreau, actor and director of such hit films as Elf and Iron Man. Still others are better known by their achievements: The Moog synthesizer that was instrumental in popularizing electronic music was invented by alumnus Robert Moog. Many have dabbled in the popular concept Six Degrees of Separation, the product of research done by another alumnus, psychologist, Stanley Milgram.
No wonder the 2008 Kaplan/Newsweek How to Get into College Guide named Queens College one of America's 25 hottest and most interesting schools.
