New York Institute of Technology: This is Your Place
New York Institute of Technology prepares students for jobs of the future and helps them grow as people, citizens, and professionals. Our in-demand undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral programs provide the next generation of physicians, engineers, scientists, architects, healthcare professionals, business leaders, and designers with the skills to create solutions to benefit our local and global communities.
Our Long Island and New York City campuses are home to over 8,000 students from 74 countries and 42 states who are studying computer science, data science, and cybersecurity; architecture and interior design; natural and behavioral sciences; electrical and mechanical engineering; nursing, medicine, and allied health; digital arts; business; and more.
Accessible Options and Accelerated Opportunities
A college degree is a serious investment, with a very high return, especially for New York Tech grads. We offer a test-optional admissions policy, a new honors college, and generous financial aid packages. In addition to having one of the lowest out-ofpocket tuition costs among private colleges in New York State, we offer undergraduate merit scholarships up to $32,000 per year, need-based aid, a generous transfer credit policy, co-op experiential programs, and graduate scholarships and assistantships.
Our combined and accelerated (4+1) degree programs are an excellent choice for students interested in earning both an undergraduate and graduate degree in just five years. We offer more than 30 programs with accelerated paths in the health professions, architecture and design, engineering and computing sciences, counseling, and business. By earning two degrees in less time, students can save thousands of dollars in tuition and launch your career faster.
Hands-on Learning and Research
New York Tech is the only university on Long Island to be a member of both the National Academy of Inventors and the Association of Independent Technological Universities.
Our expert faculty incorporate technology into exciting teaching and research methods, including studies that examine how artificial intelligence could help doctors diagnose mental illness, classroom experiences that transform Shakespearean literature into a video game, and using computational biology to detect genetic predisposition to breast cancer.
Students often have the opportunity to participate in innovative research and initiatives, with undergraduate and graduate students participating in vital projects across all six schools and colleges. They are developing prototypes for NASA’s patents, studying ways to automate the detection of cervical cancer, designing and building robotic surgical assistants, developing VR gaming to help those with disabilities, and working to 3-D print a human kidney, just to name a few examples.
Student researchers have secured awards and recognition from agencies and organizations, including the U.S. Department of Defense, American Heart Association, and Metropolis magazine’s “Future 100.”
After studying and conducting research with faculty experts, many graduates secure competitive research positions or study at top institutions (including New York Tech’s own medical and health professions programs).
Students Graduate Career-Ready
We offer hands-on, experiential learning opportunities allowing students to gain a deeper understanding of their field. This includes the College of Engineering and Computing Sciences co-op track, which lets students alternate between classroom study and full-time employment in their chosen fields, as well as the university’s Internship Certificate Program, which enables all students to build their resumes, earn income, and gain work experience before graduation.
Students regularly secure internships at leading industry corporations and organizations. In recent years, these include Ferragamo, Google, H2M architects + engineers, PwC, NJ Transit, New York City Department of Buildings, and New York City Housing Authority, among others.
Spaces for Innovation
Our students have access to many hightech facilities and cutting-edge research laboratories.
The College of Engineering and Computing l Sciences’ Entrepreneurship and Technology Innovation Center (ETIC) provides students with access to practical, on-the-job experience and allows them to develop entrepreneurial skills and professional networks that help them launch careers after graduation. There’s also a New York Tech incubator near campus, part of a larger accelerator space currently hosting a few dozen companies. Fabrication Labs connect students from l the School of Architecture and Design with advanced digital maker fabrication technology, including computer-controlled laser cutters, 3-D printers, and other equipment.
At the Biomedical Sciences and Bioengineering l (BSB) Laboratory, biology majors and other undergraduate students are studying how viruses called bacteriophages could be a necessary weapon in the fight against antibiotic-resistant superbugs. In the Academic Health Care Centers l on the Long Island campus, future healthcare professionals in the College of Osteopathic Medicine and School of Health Professions conduct important research on Parkinson’s disease, cardiac disease, anatomy, concussions, and other important areas. And, a new Biomedical Research, Innovation, and Imaging Center (BRIIC) is under construction, expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2025.
A Diverse, Safe, Caring Community
At New York Tech, students will join a welcoming community, representing a variety of racial, ethnic, religious, gender, geographic, cultural, age, ability, and socioeconomic groups.
