Diversity converges at Queensborough this fall
The world gathers in Bayside to
get more from their education.
More than 3,000 freshman will
enroll at Queensborough Community
College for the fall semester,
joining students from all over the
world who speak 79 different
languages.
“We’re one of America’s most
diverse and successful community
colleges,” advises Dr. Tim Lynch, the
College’s Interim President.
Representing two-thirds of the
globe, the campus buzzes with
students from Denmark, Cuba,
Guatemala, Myanmar, Singapore,
and 129 other countries.
New students will be part of a
vibrant community of 21,000 people
studying more than 40 Associate
Degrees and further education
programs at Queensborough
annually.
“The College is all about equity,
diversity, inclusion and academic
excellence,” Dr. Lynch adds.
The new semester starts on August
27 and the College is currently
accepting applications.
Eighty three percent of Queensborough
students come from Astoria,
Jackson Heights, Long Island City,
Sunnyside, Bayside, Colle Point,
Bellerose, Douglaston and Littleneck,
Flushing, Floral Park, Fresh Meadows,
Whitestone, Corona, Elmhurst,
Forest Hills, Kew Gardens, Middle
Village, Rego Park, Woodside,
Jamaica, Hollis Hills, Queens Village,
Rosedale, Ozone Park, The Rockaways
and every place in between in
Queens. The majority of other
students come from Nassau County
— more than 1,000 — and Brooklyn.
One out of five students reports to
have been born overseas.
“Our reputation for unmatched
student services, transformative
education experiences, and the
value we represent are the top
reasons students are choosing
Queensborough,” Dr. Lynch
explains.
Queensborough has a student to
faculty ratio is 26-to-1, which
means classes are small. Extensive
support is provided to all incoming
students, especially veterans and
people who are the first in their
families to attend college.
“You never need to feel alone,
even if you don’t know anyone
here. You can do it.”
Ninety percent of 2019 freshmen
will study full-time. Three out of
four will receive financial aid.
New students will have an
opportunity to sign-up, later, to at
least 10 dual-joint transfer degree
programs with CUNY senior
colleges such as John Jay, Hunter
or York or they will attend the
university of their choice to
continue their studies. Queensborough
students regularly enroll for
their Bachelor’s at other top
institutions including Columbia,
Cornell, NYU, Fordham, Binghamton
and more.
Last year, 2,315 students graduated
from Queensborough — the
largest since the College was
founded in 1958.
It’s not too late to enroll in the
course you want and applying is
easy. Just go to
qcc.cuny.edu/admissions or call
718 281 5000. Or, if you prefer,
Queensborough offers on-the-spot
admissions through August 9 at its
campus at 222 56th Avenue. No
appointments are necessary.
