Long Island University’s Brooklyn Campus - in the heart
of downtown Brooklyn just minutes from Manhattan - is a
continually evolving learning environment, pulsing with vitality.
The core of its success has been its ability to change with the times
and to serve new constituencies.
Our campus has been providing outstanding educational
opportunities to students from all walks of life for three-quarters
of a century. It is the original unit of the University, the eighthlargest private university in America, with six campuses and seven
international sites.

Information Guide
Long Island University
Brooklyn Campus
Founded in 1926 by Brooklyn civic leaders, the Campus sought
from the start to include religious and racial minorities, admitting
students solely on merit. It has come a long way from the days
when it enrolled 312 students. Today, our student body numbers
more than 11,000. In the past decade, while other universities
lost students and cut programs, our enrollment doubled and our
course offerings and student services increased significantly. We
credit our success to our fine academic reputation, top-notch
faculty, excellent facilities and personalized student advising.
Our diverse body of students from across the U.S. and around
the globe have much in common: their humanity, their thirst for
knowledge and their quest for the American dream.
