Transforming lives by providing access to great education!
Brooklyn College is a senior college of the City University of New York, located on the border of the Midwood and Flatbush neighborhoods of Brooklyn, New York City. Brooklyn College's origin began in 1910 with the establishment of an extension division of the City College for Teachers. The school then began offering evening classes for first-year male college students in 1917. In 1930 by the New York City Board of Higher Education, the College authorized the combination of the Downtown Brooklyn branches of Hunter College – at that time a women's college – and the City College of New York – a men's college – both of which had been established in 1926. With the merger of these branches, Brooklyn College became the first public coeducational liberal arts college in New York City.

Construction on CUNY Brooklyn College’s new performing arts center is well underway, as is the planning for a new, state-of-the-art science complex.
