Dream big: St. Francis College
In the world of colleges, St. Francis is a dream come true. Founded more than 150 years ago by the Franciscan Brothers, the mission of St. Francis has always been to help young people achieve their life dreams of personal and professional success by making a quality college education more affordable.
Generations of St. Francis College graduates have gone on to achieve great success as leaders in business, finance, education, public service, health care and more — and as alumni, they remain actively involved with the college by providing mentoring and internships to the next generation of dreamers. That’s the St. Francis way.
As one of the most affordable private colleges in the New York metropolitan area, with an exceptionally generous financial aid program, St. Francis College’s value-added approach provides an education with all the benefits and opportunities associated with a small private college. It’s no doubt that St. Francis has been consistently ranked as a top college by U.S. News & World Report, Forbes.com and Money magazine.
The college offers more than 70 programs, majors and minors, including the cutting-edge fields of sports management, entrepreneurship and interactive media. Communication arts majors take advantage of the state-of-the-art HDTV production studio and art theater, while the five-year combined B.S./M.S. degree in accounting, as well as an M.S. degree in professional accounting, takes graduates on to jobs at the top four accounting firms. In addition, a five-year combined B.A./M.A. in psychology offers students the benefits of the same degrees, but graduating in less time. A graduate-level certificate in project management is also growing in popularity and is designed for individuals who want to enhance their project management skills through an intensive executive-level program. A minor in project management is also being offered and is open to all majors.
With today’s high demand for qualified health-care professionals, our healthcare management, health promotion and sciences and other health-related programs are teaching students the necessary skills by conducting research and lab experiments in the college’s newly designed labs and classrooms. The B.S. in nursing program is offered to incoming qualified freshmen and transfers, which prepares students for the NCLEX Exam.
Students participate on 19 NCAA Division I athletic teams, including men’s and women’s basketball, golf, men’s soccer, women’s volleyball and the nationally ranked men’s water polo team.
Whether students decide to commute or to live in the unbeatable location of Brooklyn Heights, the choice is theirs. St. Francis College has partnered with EHS to provide safe and affordable student housing in the newly renovated residence hall. The college expects all students to become a vibrant part of the community.
