Long Island University, Brooklyn has deep historic roots that stretch back to 1926, when the New York Board of Regents granted LIU a provisional charter. The university founders were committed to admitting students based on merit and promise alone, never impeding their enrollment because of their sex, race, religion, or national origin. This was a unique and progressive philosophy during an age that was often defined by quotas and discrimination.

The Brooklyn campus has been providing outstanding educational opportunities to students from all walks of life for more than eight decades. It is the original unit of Long Island University, one of the largest and most comprehensive private universities in the country. Known for its excellent academics, renowned faculty, comprehensive career services, state-of-the-art facilities, Division I athletics and small class size, the campus educates more than 11,000 credit-seeking and continuing education students, preparing them for meaningful careers and inspiring them to make a difference in their own communities and in the world.

When you enroll at the LIU Brooklyn campus, you follow in the footsteps of tens of thousands of individuals who have come here to change their lives and to make their way in the world. Students from as close as Bensonhurst and as far away as Bangalore – many of whom have been the first in their family to attend college – have walked through our doors and have emerged, not only prepared for a career, but prepared for life.
