   What you can study

   You can study from a catalogue that includes 26 programmes, with examples such as Accounting, Biological Sciences, Chemistry, Computer Science, Criminal Justice, Digital Arts, several Education pathways, English, and Finance. The college also describes itself as offering associate degrees in the arts, sciences, and applied sciences, plus continuing education programmes.

   Getting in

   International applicants should apply through the college’s official admissions process and check the website for current entry requirements, document submission steps, and any visa-related instructions. Because detailed international admissions rules are not listed, confirm programme requirements and deadlines directly with the admissions office before applying.

   What it costs

   The college does not publish a tuition fee range here, so confirm the current cost with its admissions office. As with any move to New York City, budget separately for housing, transport, food, and other living expenses.

   Coming from abroad

   The language of instruction is not stated, so confirm that on the official website before you apply. Also check whether your programme is offered at the level you want, whether your documents need translation or evaluation, and what student visa documents the college requires.

   How it compares

   Among 2,515 universities and colleges in the United States, this is a public community college with a focused set of programmes rather than a large comprehensive university. That makes it a more practical fit if you want a shorter, career-oriented route in New York City instead of a broad research university experience.
