   Getting in

   International applicants should apply through the college’s official admissions process and confirm the current entry requirements, document list, and deadlines on the website. Check what qualifications are accepted for your chosen programme, whether transcripts need evaluation, and whether there are any programme-specific requirements for graduate study.

   What it costs

   The university does not publish a tuition fee range; confirm the current cost with its admissions office. Living costs in Rockland County and the wider New York area will also affect your budget, so check housing, transport, and health insurance costs before applying.

   Coming from abroad

   The language of instruction is not stated, so confirm it directly with the college before you apply. If you are moving from abroad, you should also check visa documents, English language requirements, transfer credit rules, and whether your programme has any additional professional or licensure steps.

   How it compares

   Among 2,515 universities in the United States, this is a public community college rather than a large research university. Its main difference is the mix of associate-level study and a limited set of advanced programmes, so it may suit students who want a public option with a narrower catalogue than many four-year institutions.
