The City College of New York (CCNY), the founding College of the CUNY system, remains entrenched in the historic foundation of research and recognition. With over 21 research institutes, ranging from robotics to climate and biodiversity, paired with almost a dozen Alumni who are Nobel Prize recipients, The City College of New York is the original and is still meeting the needs of New York City, and the world.
Since 1847, The City College of New York has provided a high quality and affordable education to generations of New Yorkers in a wide variety of disciplines. CCNY embraces its role at the forefront of social change.
For many years, the City College of New York has been listed among the top colleges in the Princeton Review "Best 384 Colleges" with consecutive rankings. CCNY has also been ranked #1 by The Chronicle of Higher Education out of 369 selective public colleges in the United States on the overall mobility index. This measure reflects both access and outcomes, representing the likelihood that a student at CCNY can move up two or more income quintiles. In addition, the Center for world University Rankings places CCNY in the top 1.2% of universities worldwide in terms of academic excellence, and most recently (2020) a new report from the Brookings Institution ranks The City College of New York third among four-year schools with the greatest success in lifting low-income students into the middle class. More than 16,000 students pursue undergraduate and graduate degrees in eight professional schools and divisions, driven by significant funded research, creativity and scholarship. CCNY is as diverse, dynamic and visionary as New York City itself.

Overall
From The School
The successful applicant will have competed an academic, college-preparatory high school program. Overall average, strength of curriculum, grades in individual courses and standardized test scores are considered in the decision process. Evidence of strong math and science skills is also required for programs in engineering, medicine, science and architecture. City College visits many high schools in the New York Metropolitan area and also encourages interested students to take advantage of our campus tours and fall open house. The priority deadline of February 1st for fall admission applies to most programs, however those applying to our more competitive programs (architecture, engineering, medicine and honors programs) are required to apply during the fall semester of senior year. Admission decisions are sent out on a rolling basis beginning in early February.

This fertile academic, cultural, and historic ground is also home to many renowned filmmakers who have emerged from City College's film school, one of the earliest established in the US; Academy Award winners such as Stanley Kubrick, editor Alan Heim (All that Jazz), cinematographer Nestor Almendros (Days of Heaven) and Joshua Brand (Northern Exposure, St. Elsewhere). Director Stanley Nelson whose accolades include Emmy and MacArthur "Genius" awards along with Sundance Film Festival recognition, is regarded as the foremost chronicler of the African American experience working in nonfiction film today — and is a CCNY Alum.
Our goal is to identify and recruit students who will thrive at City College and contribute to its rich history of inclusiveness and student achievement. Prominent alumni include General Colin Powell, Andrew Grove, Jonas Salk, and a host of others.

Students Say
If you’re on the hunt for a school that offers a “quality and challenging education,” you’ll probably want to consider City College of New York. Of course, many students are initially drawn in by CCNY’s “lower than average tuition,” as well as the school’s “commitment to provid[e] opportunities to all...students no matter [their] race or background.” When it comes to academics, undergrads love that City College offers a “broad curriculum.” Additionally, they are quick to mention that the “science[s] at CCNY are rigorous” and boast that “the Engineering School is one of the best public schools.” No matter your major, you’re likely to have classes led by professors who students say are a “true gift to the school.” Most agree that their instructors are good at fostering “discussion and engagement” and “will help you in any way they can to achieve your goals.” They truly “go above and beyond for their students in terms of making time and really listening.”

From The School
The diversity of the student body, the not-so-typical college experience courtesy of life in one of the most vibrant cities in the world, and the opportunities for cultural, social, intellectual and emotional growth, ranks at the top of the list for many incoming and current students. This has made CCNY one of the most valuable hidden treasures within the city of New York. When we speak of diversity at CCNY is not just ethnic—it is also political, economic, academic, age, and every other means of categorization all coming together—which means that we are one CCNY.
All of our students are seeking excellence and feel that they have something to bring to the table. On an average day you can walk through the college, across our incredibly beautiful & green Harlem based campus, and see the unique interactions that students are having. Most students are commuters, and many are immigrants or come from immigrant families, but after some time at City and in this city, most grow to pair their natural identity with that of being a "true" New Yorker. This campus has always been beautiful, always sought to be inclusive and accessible, and has always been ahead of its time. The City College of New York is and has always been "a movement", and it's time for you to join!

Students Say
Simply put, “CCNY’s student body is one of the most diverse in the country.” Undergrads here come from “all around the world” and it’s rather routine to hear “many languages... spoken on campus.” One student heartily agrees “I’ve met so many peers from so many backgrounds, I’ve lost count.” Many also stress that this diversity extends across all “racial and socioeconomic” lines as well. As another undergrad further explains, “The university draws people of incredible intellect who are maybe economically challenged and allows them to excel.” A few undergrads do lament that “most students do not linger on campus when they’re finished with their classes” so you really have to “put in the effort to make friends at CCNY.” Fortunately, students assure us that “if you join clubs or become more involved with the opportunities the school provides, it’s much easier to make meaningful connections.” Plus, the consensus is that most people who attend are “very friendly and supportive.” This is bolstered by a non-traditional student who concludes, “I was petrified to return and be the oldest in most if not all of my classes. The student body made me feel comfortable from day one.... Everyone has treated me with respect and as a fellow peer.”

Leading CUNY in funded research, we house a number of research centers, and two new advanced research centers located on our South Campus. We maintain a proud sense of exclusivity, in that nowhere else in the city do undergraduates have so many opportunities to conduct research with professors and publish and present their findings. In our science, engineering and social science programs, more than 300 undergrads work alongside senior researchers in funded projects.
Nearly all of our full-time faculty hold PhDs or — like our architecture faculty, maintain professional practices. Art professors exhibit their work, film professors make films, and music professors perform in venues around the country.
We are innovators — from outstanding programs in architecture, engineering, education and the liberal arts, to groundbreaking initiatives in the sciences; we prepare our students for the future, and produce outstanding leaders in every field. Whether they are drawn to the traditional, like philosophy or sociology, or emerging fields like sonic arts or biomedical engineering, our baccalaureate graduates go on to graduate programs at Stanford, Columbia or MIT — or they stay right here in one of our 50 master's programs or our doctoral programs in engineering, the laboratory sciences, and psychology.

Students Say
There’s no denying that CCNY is a “commuter school” so it’s common to see “people come, go to class and leave.” Nevertheless, there’s plenty to enjoy both on the “beautiful and safe campus” campus and in the city at large. After all, “as soon as you walk into the Quad which is the main building you can see students hanging out and even recruiting people for their clubs.” Undergrads appreciate that many of these organizations that “offer multiple resources and host seminars to learn about internships and potential research opportunities.” Specific groups include the “CCNY Green Club” where members “learn a lot about horticulture and other aspects of gardening, such as bee maintaining” as well as pre-law club, salsa club, swimming club, video game club and so much more. The college itself also hosts numerous events such as the annual CCNY Poetry Festival. Further, it offers a handful of “fun workshops ranging from cooking to arts and crafts” as well as meditation classes. And, of course, CCNY students have all of New York City at their fingertips. As this individual shares, “Exploring the different attractions (such as the pop up stores in Bryant park or the museums in NYC) and various restaurants in NYC with my friends or significant other is my favorite thing to do.”

Sustainability
City University of New York—City College holds a prominent place in the intellectual history of New York (its list of notable alums includes Colin Powell, Andrew Grove, and Jonas Salk!). That legacy of excellence defines the college’s sustainability program. “CCNY Green” is the name of City College’s campaign to “rethink the way we teach, learn, conduct research, operate, and live.” The college has signed on to both ACUPCC and former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s PlaNYC Challenge to reduce greenhouse gas emissions on campus by 30 percent between 2007 and 2017. A Sustainability Task Force was created to “place sustainability at the forefront in all operations, outreach, and educational missions.” New hydration stations are being installed in several buildings to reduce bottled water waste, by providing chilled, filtered tap water free of charge for use with refillable containers. City College is partnering with the New York Department of Environmental Protection to install water meters and low-flow fixtures to reduce water consumption and waste on campus. Undergraduate and graduate programs in sustainability are available, and research opportunities abound through the many environmentally focused centers and institutes housed on campus. CUNY’s Institute for Urban Systems, for example, is working to find ways to green existing commercial buildings by “promoting advanced building system technologies and best practices that reduce energy use and improve indoor environmental conditions and waste management practices.” In 2010, the university launched a new degree program in sustainability in the urban environment.
