From the School
Queens College enjoys a national reputation for its liberal arts and science programs, its world-class faculty, and its affordability. Ninety percent of our students who graduate in four years receive their degrees without any student loan debt.
A storied institution with a long history of graduating students who go on to serve our global community, Queens College (QC)—a senior college of The City University of New York (CUNY)—will challenge you and help you build your future.
Since its founding in 1937, Queens College has enjoyed a national reputation for its liberal arts and science programs, its world-class faculty, and its affordability. Less than 10 miles from Manhattan, Queens College offers exciting academics and an innovative program that no other college in New York City offers: QC in 4, which guarantees that you will graduate in four years.
Opportunities to study abroad and internships abound, some right on campus in our Tech Incubator, where students can learn from budding entrepreneurs. Phi Beta Kappa, the oldest and most respected undergraduate honors organization in the United States, has a chapter at Queens, a distinction shared with only 10 percent of the nation's liberal arts colleges. And all this happens on a beautiful 80-acre campus with a centrally located residence hall, top recreational facilities, and the only Division II athletics program in CUNY.
Thanks to our low tuition and generous financial aid, 90 percent of our students who graduate in four years receive their degrees without any student loan debt. The Princeton Review ranked Queens College a "Best Value College" in 2019, and Forbes and Money magazines have consistently praised QC for its outstanding academics, world-class faculty, generous financial aid packages, and affordable tuition. Over 60 percent of students benefit from financial aid, including grants, scholarships, loans, and work-study opportunities. The college is also a proud participant in New York State's Excelsior Scholarship program, which provides free tuition to eligible students.
QC is one of America's most diverse colleges, in every sense of the word. We educate students of all ages and interests. Three military guides recognize us for our support of veterans and members of the armed services. We make every effort to accommodate people with disabilities. Culturally, we reflect the population of our home borough: Our students come from all over the world and many speak a language other than English. As a result, this campus offers a unique learning environment that prepares our alums to enter the global economy and effect change, wherever their lives and careers may take them.

Academic Programs
QC's departments and programs are organized into four divisions: Arts and Humanities, Education, Math and Natural Sciences, and Social Sciences. In addition to participating in CUNY's Macaulay Honors College—which provides full tuition for in-state residents—the college offers its own honors programs, including one for transfer students. QC in 4, a program exclusive to Queens College, creates a path for entering freshmen to complete a bachelor's degree in four years, guaranteed.
Majors and Degrees Offered
Queens College has 69 undergraduate majors, in programs leading to BA, BBA, BS, BFA, and BMus degrees, as well as 26 accelerated BA/MA tracks that allow you to earn combined undergraduate and graduate degrees in just 5 years. Starting in their senior year, students may take graduate-level courses that will count toward both their bachelor's and master's degrees. Students can earn their undergraduate and graduate degrees in such fields as art, business, education, science and more. Better still, seniors enrolled in the program pay undergraduate tuition rates on up to 12 credits in graduate coursework, saving time and money.

Students Say
Located in New York’s “most diverse borough,” Queens College “offers high quality academics for a very reasonable price.” As one student puts it, “Queens is about getting a valuable and quality education that does not drain you financially for the future.” In keeping with the fact that the majority of QC students live off campus in a variety of nearby communities, one of the school’s strengths is helping students become “the best you can be so you can give back to the community.” One student even goes as far as to say that QC is “considered the Harvard of CUNY.” The Macaulay Honors College and the Aaron Copeland School of Music both get high marks, with students saying that QC as a whole “provides a strong liberal arts education to give [students] well-rounded knowledge and skills.” Professors generally “genuinely care about [students’] grades and well-being”; as one student puts it, “They won’t let me fall behind.” But while “most professors genuinely care for [students’] success,” it’s inevitable that they will “vary in terms of quality.” As one student puts it, “Many of my professors just lecture and don’t interact too much, however, some are very involved and passionate.” Students appreciate the “challenging yet interesting courses” but some lament that for the coveted courses, “you have to really run and register for those classes like it’s a competition.”

Students Say
One of the biggest boons for Queens College students are the professors, who “support students beyond the classroom via letters of recommendation or trying to help them enter internships [and] various programs” if the student has proven themselves to be hardworking and capable. Thanks to the campus proximity to city many students already tend to have some sort of job, whether it's a part-time gig or a full-time career. Potential opportunities are posted daily on the school's Symplicity portal by the Office of Career Development & Internships, which also runs workshops such as Résumé Preparation, Job Interview Techniques, and Job Search Strategies. Additionally, the Jeannette K. Watson Summer Fellowship Program is a three-summer paid internship program that provides annual funding to promising students of New York City partner colleges so that they may participate in seminars, cultural events, fieldwork, and internships. Out of Queens College alumni visiting PayScale.com, 43 percent report that their jobs make the world a better place.

Current undergraduate enrollment exceeds 16,000 students, two-thirds of whom attend full-time and approximately half of whom entered QC as transfer students. Almost a third of our students are Hispanic, and nearly as many are Asian-Pacific Islanders. Ethnic breakdowns don't quite capture the diversity of Queens College. More than half of our students were born overseas; they come from nearly 145 countries and speak 87 languages and dialects.
You name it, Queens College has it—on a campus with more than 100 clubs and intramural sports, there is an outlet for every student. Greek life is well represented, as are cultural, professional, and service organizations. The only CUNY school in NCAA Division II, QC fields men's and women's teams.

Students Say
Diversity is key at Queens College, where, as one student puts it, “We have a very diverse campus, so no minority is really ever a minority.” “If one were to ask me to name every ethnicity, nationality, and religious group on campus, I would not even know where to begin,” says another. QC “has a very friendly student body” and some says that “the friendships and bonds you make from taking transit together, or sharing stories is special in [its] own way.” Others note that “there is not much of an established social life” and that “if you want to make friends here you really have to work for it.” Many students “have part-time jobs,” some students “are parents, and have to take care of their children”—“Of course, many people are straight out of high school [too], but even these people usually spend a lot of time off campus.” Students describe their peers as “career-minded and focused”; they “love to have fun, but they [are] still focused on their studies and their futures.”
Overview
From The School
Location
Queens College is located on 80 tree-lined acres in a quiet, residential neighborhood of Queens, New York City's largest borough. The attractions of Manhattan aren't far away, and year-round events—from performances at the Kupferberg Center for the Arts to Division II games on our field and courts—make the campus a destination in its own right. The college is served by public bus lines, as well as college shuttles that bring riders to and from two major mass transit hubs. Drivers can get here via I-495. Although most students commute to class, The Summit Apartments, QC's residence hall, has affordable housing for just over 500 in fully furnished, twoand four-person suites.
Campus Facilities & Equipment
Queens College invests an average of $20 million annually toward equipment and facility upgrades. Faculty and students conduct research in fully equipped labs with cutting-edge tools. Business and science majors can intern for startup companies at the college's Tech Incubator or launch their own businesses. The renowned Aaron Copland School of Music has professional performance spaces and recording studios, as well as practice rooms equipped with Steinway pianos. Students can get in shape in our fitness center; swim laps in our Olympic-size pool; train on our track, soccer, softball or baseball fields; and play basketball and tennis year-round—we have courts indoors and out. Wi-Fi access around campus makes it easy to field email and catch up on work from a seat in a campus café or outside on the quad.
Off-Campus Opportunities
Queens College knows that top students look for challenges beyond the classroom. Our Center for Career Engagement and Internships tracks more than 1,200 positions. Interns earn academic credit and often more: the average QC internship stipend is $1,200 to $1,500. Service learning and leadership opportunities abound: you can build houses with Habitat for Humanity during spring break, go on a Midnight Run to feed the homeless, or conduct geological research in one of our local waterways. QC is also part of the CUNY Service Corps, in which students spend 24 weeks in paid, part-time positions working on projects that address public health, education, the environment, and more. In addition, students can take advantage of international academic programs with partner colleges.

Students Say
Though the school opened the Summit Apartments, its first residence hall, in 2009, the majority of QC students still commute; as one student observes, “Even though the Summit Apartments can only house 500 students, it still remains pretty empty throughout the semesters.” Since “most students come here to go to class and then head home or to their job afterwards,” many QC students say that it’s difficult to foster much sense of a school community—“the sense of community could use some work.” But others counter, saying that, “I would not expect a school composed mostly of commuters to bond as much as we do.” Outside of class, it’s “very hard to be bored,” especially “being so close to the city, there are a lot of activities to do around the area.” Many students explore Queens, which is accessible via a free QC shuttle. For those who live on campus, or those commuters who stick around after class, as one student puts it, “We have clubs for everything, and if there isn’t a club for something you like you could always start [one] up.” One thing that students agree helps unite QC as a community is student government: “Student government provides us with events and carnivals during both the fall and spring semesters. It brings people together.”

Sustainability
Affectionately referred to as the “jewel of the CUNY system,” Queens College might truly be the greenest gem in the thriving NYC borough of Queens. Committed to “development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs,” this 87-acre suburban campus always has one eye on the future. Commitments to NYCPLA 2017 and the Governor of New York to reduce energy use are just parts of the longstanding college’s Campus 10 Year Sustainability Plan, which also entails a plan to be carbon neutral in thirty-five years. Unsurprisingly, green building is central. Mechanical upgrades, such as that for the new Science Building, are aimed at significantly reducing energy consumption—as is the design and construction of a Central Chiller Plant. It will grow from initially supplying HVAC to several science buildings to eventually covering the entire campus. The college has recently installed a number of rain gardens with permeable pavers which have eliminated a significant volume of stormwater per year from going directly into the combined sewer system. At Queens College, responsible transportation, recycling, and dining are all on the menu. In fact, the Pride of New York program promotes the sale of agricultural and food products grown and processed within New York State. Students are the cogs in the campus-wide green machine. The 300-strong Environmental Club organizes participation in projects such as “Cool Roofs,” where students volunteer to paint rooftops white to improve cooling efficiency. Academically, students can pursue bachelor’s degrees in environmental science and participate in sustainability research. Queens College’s motto is “We learn so that we may serve,” so why not serve green?
