Our Office of Student Services provides extensive support for all students as they pursue their studies. Their work is supported by a carefully selected corps of highly trained scholars and professionals who serve as adjunct faculty. Our 20 undergraduate programs and nearly 100 graduate programs offer comprehensive professional education in the areas of education, health, nursing, communications and the arts professions.
Summer is a wonderful time of the year to be in New York City.
