List of City University of New York institutions
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The City University of New York (CUNY) system is the public university system of New York City. CUNY consists of 11 senior colleges, 7 community colleges, 1 honors college and 7 postgraduate institutions. As of 2018[update], CUNY is the United States' largest urban public university, with an enrollment of over 274,000 students.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]
CUNY and the State University of New York (SUNY) are different university systems, despite the fact that both are public institutions that receive funding from the state of New York. The 64 SUNY and 25 CUNY campus institutions are part of University of the State of New York (USNY). USNY is the governmental umbrella organization for most education-related institutions and many education-related personnel (both public and private) in the state of New York, and which includes, as a component, the New York State Education Department.
All of these schools are accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools,[8] in addition to other program-specific accreditations held by individual campuses, such as Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business and Association of Collegiate Business Schools and Programs.
