Long Island University is one of largest and most comprehensive private universities in the United States, offering 500 accredited programs to more than 20,000 students, with a network of more than 200,000 alumni that includes leaders in industries across the globe. The University has two residential campuses: LIU Brooklyn, located in the heart of New York City’s fastest-growing cultural and professional community; and LIU Post, located just 27 miles outside New York City on Long Island’s famed “Gold Coast.” LIU Post offers more than 250 academic programs on an idyllic 307-acre campus nestled in a suburb hailed by Bloomberg Businessweek as one of the most beautiful in the country. The campus is home to Tilles Center for the Performing Arts, which hosts more than 70 performances each season by internationally acclaimed artists, many of whom present master classes for LIU Post students in the School of Performing Arts. The LIU Post campus also features a School of Business ranked among the Princeton Review’s “Best Business Schools” for 14 consecutive years, an array of student-run businesses that includes a student-led consulting firm and investment fund, and the top NCAA Division II athletic program in the East. LIU Brooklyn offers more than 200 academic programs on an 11-acre campus in Downtown Brooklyn. LIU Brooklyn offers more professional programs in health care than any single campus in New York City – including a state-of-the-art School of Nursing and New York’s first College of Pharmacy – and was ranked by Payscale.com as the top school for health care majors’ salaries. The campus is also home to student-run businesses where Blackbirds gain executive-level experience while earning their degrees, an NCAA Division I athletic program that features 19 varsity teams, and the legendary Brooklyn Paramount Theater, currently being restored to its past glory as a concert venue.
