Welcome to The City College of New York!

You have embarked upon an incredible journey at a remarkable moment in our nation’s history.  For over 175 years, the City College of New York has provided its students with an excellent education, preparing them for success in a broad range of careers and endeavors. I have, however, always cherished another aspect of our mission: while we work to educate students individually, we make an even more powerful collective impact on the world.  From its very inception, CCNY responded to the realization that we would never be as strong, democratic or dynamic as we could be unless we harnessed the power and creativity of the whole people. Our city, and our national and global societies, need the vision and talent that each of you possess.  We’re dedicated to developing those talents for your benefit and for the benefit of humanity.

On our campus you will be taught by internationally renowned and accomplished faculty in diverse fields, ranging from science, engineering, and architecture to humanities and the arts, education, and social sciences. We have state of the art laboratories for scientists and engineers, studios in which artists and musicians can hone their craft, and a medical school that focuses on training a new generation of doctors to address healthcare disparities across the nation. Our social science classrooms are dedicated to the develop the leadership of a new generation, while our humanities departments preserve and present our culture and promote broader human understanding. Educators and architects who have shaped the minds and buildings of our city learned their professions in the classrooms that you will enter.

To enhance your experience at CCNY, please use this Bulletin to familiarize yourself with our undergraduate majors and areas of specialization. Our rich curriculum offers opportunities to not only chart your own career path, but to explore areas of interest across the fields of science, technology, social justice and the arts. College life outside of the classroom is just as varied and diverse as our student body.

Use our valuable resources to maximize your CCNY Experience. From innovation and entrepreneurship to cutting-edge research, scholarship and creativity, a City College education is a vital force for progress in the lives of our students and in our communities.

I look forward to seeing you on the City College campus.

Sincerely,

Vince Boudreau, President
