Overview
Queens College is a public college of the City University of New York, set on an 80-acre campus in Flushing, Queens, with 36 buildings.
The college describes its offering as undergraduate degrees in 78 majors, more than 100 master's degrees and over 40 accelerated master's pathways, so students can move from a bachelor's program into graduate study within the same institution. Undergraduates choose from departments spanning the sciences, business, education, languages and area studies, the arts and music, and the social sciences, and can also design an interdisciplinary major with faculty advisors.
The Office of Honors and Scholarships runs a Freshman Honors Program and a Transfer Honors Program that pair tuition support with dedicated advising and early course registration. Beyond the fall and spring terms, the college offers a winter session in January and three summer sessions beginning in June, with in-person, hybrid and online courses.
Visiting students from other institutions can enrol in these sessions through a non-degree application.
The student body represents more than 170 countries, and the athletics teams compete in NCAA Division II.
