Long Island University (LIU) is a private university with campuses spread across Long Island, New York, and beyond. Established in 1926, LIU has grown into a diverse institution offering a wide array of undergraduate, graduate, and professional programs.
The university comprises multiple campuses, with the main campuses located in Brookville and Brooklyn. The Brookville campus, known as LIU Post, is situated on a picturesque 307-acre estate on Long Island's North Shore. It offers a classic collegiate environment with modern facilities and a focus on liberal arts education, business, education, health professions, and visual and performing arts. LIU Brooklyn, on the other hand, is located in the heart of downtown Brooklyn, providing a vibrant urban setting for students pursuing degrees in fields like health sciences, pharmacy, business, and education.
LIU is known for its commitment to academic excellence and personalized attention to students. With a relatively low student-to-faculty ratio, students have ample opportunities for mentorship and individualized support from professors. The university's faculty consists of accomplished scholars and professionals who are dedicated to both teaching and research.
