Why choose Kingsborough?
Imagine studying science with NASA researchers; culinary arts with industry professionals; or nursing with faculty in the field. You can, at Kingsborough.
Tuition at CUNY is less than at most four-year public and private colleges, so you’ll save money by completing your first two years here. You might also be eligible for scholarships available only to community college graduates. Plus: KCC’s academic calendar consists of two 12-week sessions, each followed by a six-week module. NYC residents can earn up to 26 credits over an 18-week period for one flat rate — making it possible for some students to earn their associate's degree in less than two years. (Talk to an advisor to see if you qualify.)
Choose from over 50 degree and certificate programs; you can take classes during the day, evening and/or weekends.
Award-winning learning communities: Join 25 other freshmen in three linked courses for one semester, in a program that has been proven to help you succeed in college.
Whether it’s academic advisement, free tutoring, low-cost professional childcare, assistance with accessibility issues, career training or advice about your long-term goals, you’ll find people and services ready to help you succeed.
With 80 clubs to choose from, you’ll never be at a loss for something to do or people to meet.
The honors program offers enriched academic experiences and co-curricular opportunities for highly motivated students who want to enhance their Kingsborough education. Benefits include small, honors-only classes taught by dedicated faculty, opportunities to study off-campus and abroad and membership in one of the nation’s largest chapters of the Phi Theta Kappa International Honor Society.
KCC presents many free and low-cost community events each year including lectures, a free summer music festival and professional arts events for adults and families. As a student, you’ll get discounts to most ticketed events.
A member of the NJCAA and the CUNY Conference, KCC’s athletics department offers a variety of intercollegiate teams, including men's and women’s basketball, track, tennis, baseball and soccer teams, as well as women’s volleyball. There’s also a comprehensive intramural program in an award-winning gym and pool facility, covering many sports for men and women throughout the school year.
Being surrounded with beautiful views, architecture and art work is conducive to learning. You can find quiet places to study, or to gaze at the waterfront that hugs the campus on three sides. (Did we mention there’s also a private beach?)
