GOAL
Every year, hundreds of thousands of
students choose The City University
of New York for a multitude of reasons
that can be summed up as one:
opportunity. Providing a quality, accessible
education regardless of background
or means has been CUNY’s mission
since 1847. The University’s unwavering
commitment to that principle is a source
of enormous pride. CUNY colleges offer
a seemingly infi nite array of academic
programs taught by award-winning faculty, as well as the
arts, sports, internships, scholarships and community service
opportunities. The powerful combination of quality academics,
remarkable affordability, fi nancial support and the convenience
of 24 modern campuses spanning the fi ve boroughs of
New York – the most exciting city in the world – makes CUNY
a singular value in higher education today. The wise choice
for smart students: That’s the CUNY Value.
