Sarah Lawrence College is located in southern Westchester County, bordering the communities of Yonkers and Bronxville, NY just 15 miles north of midtown New York City. Meredith Monk ’64 once described Sarah Lawrence College this way: “A Sarah Lawrence education teaches you that you have the right and duty to be what some people would call a troublemaker, that is, an independent, intelligent, curious person who wants to find his or her own solutions to things.” This is a place that encourages people to take risks, to go against the grain - intellectually, emotionally, artistically and politically.
Sarah Lawrence is a coeducational liberal arts college, offering undergraduate as well as graduate degrees. Located just north of New York City on a wooded campus, the College is nationally renowned for its rigorous academic and creative standards. These are fostered by small seminar classes and individual student-faculty tutorials made possible by a very low student-to-faculty ratio of 6-to-1. It is a lively community of students, scholars, and artists offering outstanding programs in the humanities, the natural sciences and mathematics, history and the social sciences, and the creative and performing arts.
The College welcomes as students men and women who display evidence of intellectual curiosity and stamina, concern for others, and the potential for personal growth. We are particularly committed to having our faculty, administration and student body reflect the social, racial and economic diversity that characterizes our society. We believe that education is enhanced by a diverse community, by the vitality of an ongoing dialogue among people with different experiences and beliefs.

Today we offer a quality liberal arts undergraduate education as well as master's degree programs in several professional areas: health professions, business, counseling/psychology, and teacher training, to students during the day, evenings, weekends, and online, so that they can fit our rigorous education into their lives. We offer tremendous financial support, so that the cost of college is not a barrier to success; and we offer learning support, access to robust technology and counseling, academic, career and personal, to help our students achieve the level of success they dream about. Our student body is primarily commuter students, whose overriding similarity is that they pursue their dream of higher education while continuing to work and support families. They are overwhelmingly the first in their families to achieve a college education, and they are African American, Asian, Caucasian, Latino, ranging in age from 18 to 80, with the average age of undergraduates being 27. Balancing their responsibilities and education, it takes most of them more than the traditional four years to complete their baccalaureate, and when they finish they take their place in industry, banking, the social services, health professions and teaching. Many continue on to graduate school - Mercy's own and schools such as University of Michigan, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, NYU, and Fordham. Press "Blue Button" for the Mercy College website.

Established in 1919 as City College’s School of Business and Civic Administration, the school was renamed in 1953 in honor of Bernard M. Baruch - statesman, financier, and devoted alumnus. In 1968 the school became an independent senior college in The City University of New York (CUNY) system.

In providing opportunity for these students, the College sustains the original mission of the Free Academy and the City University, adapting that mission to the needs of New York City, once a commercial hub, now a global corporate and financial powerhouse.
Baruch offers undergraduate and graduate programs of study through its three schools: the Zicklin School of Business, the largest and one of the most respected business schools in the nation; the Mildred and George Weissman School of Arts and Sciences; and the School of Public Affairs. The College also offers nondegree and certificate programs through its Division of Continuing and Professional Studies. Press "Blue Button" to explore Baruch College.

CUNY Baccalaureate Program is located at The Graduate Center, 365 Fifth Ave, New York, NY 10016. The City University of New York Baccalaureate Program is CUNY’s only university-wide individualized bachelor’s degree program. The Program is offered under the auspices of The CUNY Graduate School and University Center. Working one-on-one with CUNY faculty mentors, students create their own “areas of concentration” (majors), many of which are interdisciplinary. Examples include Disability Studies, Engineering Psychology, Marketing Anthropology, Middle Eastern Studies, Community Development and Technology, Artistic Traditions in Religion, and Environmental Biology. Students may take courses at any CUNY college, including The CUNY Graduate Center, The CUNY School of Professional Studies, and the City College Center for Worker Education and are encouraged to pursue independent research, fieldwork, study abroad, and other academic opportunities.
Students come to the Program from within CUNY as well as outside of CUNY. Every CUNY Baccalaureate student must be (or become) matriculated in a CUNY college. The Program is particularly well-suited for students who want to pursue an area of concentration not available in their CUNY college as a major (or not available as a major within CUNY at all), as well as for working adults who need a flexible program to earn their degree and those who can benefit from the Program’s comprehensive transfer policy.
CUNY Baccalaureate students must present the admissions committee with an academic reason for applying (e.g., a desire to complete an interdisciplinary area of concentration), a proposal for their area of concentration, a GPA of at least 2.5 both overall and on recent coursework (the average GPA upon entry is 3.1), and at least one letter of recommendation from a faculty member must maintain a minimum average of 2.5 overall and in the area(s) of concentration(s) must complete a 13-course liberal arts and sciences distribution requirement work closely with at least one full-time CUNY faculty mentor who ensures that the area of concentration is academically valid and is geared for future graduate-level study.
Where can the CUNY Baccalaureate Program lead you? More than half of the Program’s graduates report receiving promotions or raises in their current positions or have started new careers upon earning the degree. In fact, 54% of the class of 2005 reported that they earned a new position, raise or promotion in a survey conducted just after their graduation. Seventy percent of the graduates reported that they were working in a job related to their area of concentration, and 85.5% were working in New York City.
The founders of the CUNY BA/BS had students aiming for graduate school in mind when they conceived of this program, hence its emphasis on student-faculty collaboration and the ability to take graduate level courses. The Program regularly offers workshops on applying to graduate school, and Program students have had much success with acceptance to graduate and professional schools.

For the most part, courses in the social sciences, humanities, and mathematics, and courses in the sciences requiring no laboratory work convene at The Graduate Center. Science courses requiring laboratory work, courses for the clinical doctorates, and courses in business, criminal justice, engineering, and social welfare convene on CUNY college campuses.
In this nationally unique consortium of 1700 faculty members, a core faculty of 125 Graduate Center appointments is supplemented by over 1500 additional faculty members drawn from throughout CUNY's eleven senior colleges and New York City's leading cultural and scientific institutions. With 4000 doctoral students, they pursue a shared enterprise of expanding the boundaries of knowledge in over 30 doctoral programs and 6 master's programs in the humanities, social sciences, and sciences. Augmenting this enterprise are 28 research centers and institutes focused on areas of compelling social, civic, cultural, and scientific concerns.
Also affiliated with the institution are three University Center programs: the CUNY Baccalaureate Program through which undergraduates can earn bachelor's degrees by taking courses at any of the CUNY colleges; the School of Professional Studies and the associated Joseph S. Murphy Institute for Worker Education and Labor Studies; and the recently established CUNY Graduate School of Journalism, which offers a master's degree in journalism.
The Graduate Center offers thirty-three doctoral programs, thirty of them leading to the Ph.D.; the doctoral program in music offers the Doctor of Musical Arts as well as the Ph.D., the clinical doctoral programs in audiology, nursing science, and physical therapy offer the Au.D., DNS, and DPT respectively.

The Sophie Davis School of Biomedical Education of the City University of New York Medical School is located at 160 Convent Avenue, New York, NY 10031. The Sophie Davis School began as a unique program to increase access to medical and health training for inner-city youths, particularly under-represented minorities, from the City's communities and schools. A major part of its mission is to train primary care professionals who will practice in medically under-served communities of New York. There are more than 1,400 graduates of whom more than 80% from the past ten years have continued in primary care.
Headquartered at the City College, The Sophie Davis School of Biomedical Education offers an innovative five-year program that integrates undergraduate education with the first two years of medical school. Students receive a foundation in the liberal arts, community health and social medicine as well as the biomedical sciences.
Students receive a B.S. from City College and then transfer to one of six medical schools in New York State for the third and fourth years of medical school training. In recognition of the support received from a specialized State-funded program, graduates must sign a pledge to serve for two years as a primary care physician in an under-served area after they complete their residencies.
SUNY - Stony Brook SUNY - Downstate SUNY - Syracuse SUNY - Albany SUNY - NYU SUNY - New York Medical College
Entrance to the The Sophie Davis School is highly competitive and our acceptance rate is about 18%. A recent graduate spent a year in Australia on a Fulbright Scholarship, studying Eastern complementary medicine. A current fifth year student has been named a Millennium Gates Scholar, a real distinction as most such scholars are either in mathematics or pure science fields. Our students are committed to their life dream of becoming physicians: 85% of entering Sophie Davis students actually complete medical school compared to a 50% attrition rate among freshmen entering premedical programs at four-year colleges and universities. Sophie Davis's educational approach results in a 45% enrollment of under-represented minorities, representing a diversity unparalleled at other medical schools in New York State.
To ensure the future of our mission, the School is focusing its efforts in three areas:
We are increasing exposure to clinical experiences as a real priority. The School is neither physically nor formally attached to a teaching hospital so we must form partnerships with other institutions. Currently, we are partners with eight community health centers located in the Bronx, Manhattan, and Brooklyn.
We are emphasizing the development of good communication skills. Given the shift in demographics in our urban centers and under-served communities, most of our graduates, as Primary Care physicians, will offer the first line of health defense for many of our newest citizens. A patient's compliance and health depend on that very first meeting. Good communication and understanding of cultural differences become paramount.
Our mission to bring under-represented minorities into the School and to emphasize Primary Care training has never been more important. Medical school enrollment overall has been declining, and the American Association of Medical Colleges' 3,000 by 2000 goal to increase the numbers of underrepresented minorities has not been met. A number of scholarships for our students are available through the generosity of the Leonard and Sophie Davis, the William Randolph Hearst, the W. Clement & Jesse V. Stone, the Life Foundations and The Rita & Howard Shapiro Memorial Scholarship Fund. These scholarships allow us to attract qualified students to choose Sophie Davis as a preferred route to becoming a physician.
Both the concept and practice of The Sophie Davis School of Biomedical Education reinforce the City University's mission as a unique educational fount from which great futures can be attained by anyone with the grit and passion to learn.

Columbia College is a relatively small, coeducational, residential college situated in a large and complex university. These circumstances work to the advantage of our students, who often enjoy the individual, personal attention that only a small college can provide and, at the same time, attend classes that offer an impressive array of intellectual challenges and rewards.
Columbia College has had the best general education curriculum in the country for more than half a century. This common curriculum has created and sustained a community of discourse shared by the current student body with generations of alumni. As with other great traditions, however, this living discourse has not been static, but has evolved and developed across the years. And it will continue to do so.
The vitality of any tradition depends upon its constant renewal, and for this reason, among others, Columbia College's general education is conducted in small seminars. Although many excellent colleges offer one or two semesters of general education courses, such courses tend to be taught as large lectures in large halls filled with students taking notes. At Columbia College, students spend a substantial part of their first years in small classes, reading and discussing primary works of literature, philosophy, history, science, and social and political theory, and studying fine arts and music. Through discussion and debate, through writing, and through direct interaction between instructor and student, our core curriculum helps improve each student's ability to engage in the kinds of analytic, discursive, and imaginative thinking that will prove indispensable in both subsequent education and later life.
As a small college in a large research institution, Columbia College also offers a large array of academic programs taught by faculty working at the frontiers of their disciplines. Students can choose from among more than fifty majors, over thirty concentrations, and hundreds of electives, which range widely over the arts, humanities, natural sciences, and social sciences.
Although virtually all of our first-year students live in residence halls, student life at Columbia extends beyond classrooms and campus experiences. The intensity, excitement, cultural richness, and social variety of urban New York beckons to all of you. The spirit of Columbia College finds its full and deep expression in the combination of our demanding curriculum, our diverse and talented student body, and our challenging location in a great university and a great city.

The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art, established in 1859, is among the nation's oldest and most distinguished institutions of higher learning. The college, the legacy of Peter Cooper, occupies a special place in the history of American education. It is the only private, full-scholarship college in the United States dedicated exclusively to preparing students for the professions of art, architecture and engineering. The Cooper Union is located at Cooper Square, New York, NY 10003-7120.
New York City Cooper Union exploits New York's diversity and resources as its extended campus. Student artists, sculptors and photographers study in the great museums, visit studios and galleries and work at a wide range of art internships. The School of Architecture taps in to New York's architectural community and the rich legacy is built on the environment. Engineering students have unparalleled opportunities to study the challenges posed for their discipline by one of the most complex cities in the world.
History Peter Cooper was a workingman's son who had less than a year of formal schooling. Yet he went on to become an industrialist and an inventor; it was Peter Cooper who designed and built America's first steam railroad engine. Cooper made his fortune with a glue factory and an iron foundry. Later, he turned his entrepreneurial skills to successful ventures in real estate, insurance, railroads and telegraphy. He even once ran for president.
In the late 1850s, when Cooper was a principal investor and first president of the New York, Newfoundland & London Telegraph Co., the firm undertook one of the 19th century's monumental technical enterprises—laying the first Atlantic cable. Cooper also invented instant gelatin, with help from his wife, Sarah, who added fruit to what the world would come to know as Jello.
If Cooper sounds like a real-life Horatio Alger, perhaps it is no surprise that three of Alger's tales tell of young men passing The Cooper Union's stately Foundation Building and, duly inspired, deciding immediately to lead productive and moral lives.
As one of the first colleges to offer a free education to working-class children and to women, Cooper Union was a pioneer long before access to education became public policy. Cooper's example motivated the founders of other prestigious colleges, such as Andrew Carnegie, Ezra Cornell and Matthew Vassar.
Peter Cooper's dream was to give talented young people the one privilege he lacked—a good education. He also wanted to make possible the development of talent that otherwise would have gone undiscovered. His dream, providing an education "equal to the best", has come true. Since 1859, Cooper Union has educated thousands of artists, architects and engineers, many of them leaders in their fields. Press "Blue Button" to explore The Cooper Union website.

Today we offer a quality liberal arts undergraduate education as well as master's degree programs in several professional areas: health professions, business, counseling/psychology, and teacher training, to students during the day, evenings, weekends, and online, so that they can fit our rigorous education into their lives. We offer tremendous financial support, so that the cost of college is not a barrier to success; and we offer learning support, access to robust technology and counseling, academic, career and personal, to help our students achieve the level of success they dream about. Our student body is primarily commuter students, whose overriding similarity is that they pursue their dream of higher education while continuing to work and support families. They are overwhelmingly the first in their families to achieve a college education, and they are African American, Asian, Caucasian, Latino, ranging in age from 18 to 80, with the average age of undergraduates being 27. Balancing their responsibilities and education, it takes most of them more than the traditional four years to complete their baccalaureate, and when they finish they take their place in industry, banking, the social services, health professions and teaching. Many continue on to graduate school - Mercy's own and schools such as University of Michigan, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, NYU, and Fordham. Press "Blue Button" for the Mercy College website.
the Mount Sinai School of Medicine is located between Madison and 5th Avenues at 100th Street. In New York this area is considered "Uptown" or the "Upper East Side." Commitment to excellence in research, education, and patient care form the foundation that makes Mount Sinai School of Medicine (MSSM) in Manhattan one of the world’s foremost centers for medical and scientific training.
Medical education at MSSM is designed to help each student reach his or her maximum potential as a well-rounded human-being through a truly exceptional educational experience that leads to graduates who are not only highly skilled but also compassionate caregivers. An innovative curriculum that is one of the most progressive in the country, stresses the humanistic and ethical aspects of medical practice as well as problem-solving strategies. Students learn clinical care working side-by-side with world-renowned doctors and gain experience in the laboratory from scientists answering fundamental questions about human diseases. Recognition that successful and empathetic communication is critical to effective patient/doctor relationships led to the establishment of programs, such as The Morchand Center for Clinical Competence, to help students and physicians develop superb communication skills.
Mount Sinai School of Medicine, Graduate School of Biological Sciences trains students to elucidate the underlying mechanisms that cause disease and discover the knowledge necessary to develop new life-saving treatments. The Graduate School confers degrees of Ph.D., M.D./Ph.D., and M.Sc.

Pace University Pace University was founded in 1906 by the Pace brothers as a business school for men and women who aspired to a better life. Pace Institute began its transformation into a modern university, with emphasis on the liberal arts and sciences, under Robert Pace 42 years later. With dynamic leadership and fiscally sound management, Pace has grown into one of the largest universities in New York State, with a multi-million dollar physical plant, an endowment of over $100 million and a reputation for excellent teaching and talented, ambitious graduates.
Pace is a comprehensive university with five schools and one college that offers a wide range of academic and professional programs for a large, diverse population of more than 13,000 students in for-credit programs, and in affiliated offerings. Through its Lubin School of Business, Pace continues to build its reputation for excellence in business education. The Lienhard School of Nursing, the School of Law, the School of Education and the Seidenberg School of Computer Science and Information Systems are more recent responses to the needs of the New York City and Westchester communities for strong professional schools to prepare a well-educated workforce.
The University's decision in 1948 to develop a college of arts and sciences as both an autonomous academic unit and a foundation for the undergraduate core curriculum has strengthened and enriched the educational experience of Pace students and provided an ongoing source of intellectual enrichment to the University. The Dyson College of Arts and Sciences is central to the intellectual life of Pace, to shaping academic priorities, and to providing ethical, humanistic and scientific principles upon which lives and careers are founded.
Pace University draws strength from being a unified institution that offers students a choice of locations.

Parsons The New School For Design has a rich history as a leader in art and design education. In 1970, the School became a division of the New School for Social Research -The New School. The campus moved from Sutton Place to Greenwich Village in New York City. The merger with a vigorous, fully accredited university was a source of new funding and energy, which expanded the focus of a Parsons education.
Parsons focuses on creating engaged citizens and outstanding artists, designers, scholars and business leaders through a design-based professional and liberal education. Parsons students learn to rise to the challenges of living, working and creative decision making in a world where human experience is increasingly designed. The school embraces curricular innovation, pioneering uses of technology, collaborative methods and global perspectives on the future of design.
Parsons has been a forerunner in the field of art and design since its founding in 1896. Parsons was first in:
The first program in Fashion Design The first program in Interior Design The first program in Advertising and Graphic Design
Each program has profoundly impacted American life. In 1939, nine years after Frank Alvah Parsons' death, the School officially adopted his name. By locating visual beauty in the ordinary things of middle-class American life, Parsons virtually invented the modern concept of design in America. From the beginning, the faculty cared about the spaces people lived in, the garments they wore, the advertising they read, the furniture and tableware they used. The principles they taught had the effect of democratizing taste and making it available to America on a broad scale. As the modern curriculum developed, many successful designers remained closely tied to the School, and by the mid-1960s, Parsons had become "the training ground for Seventh Avenue."

The Rockefeller University is located at 1230 York Avenue, New York, NY 10021 in New York City. Founded by John D. Rockefeller, the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research was incorporated on June 14, 1901. It was the first institution in the United States devoted solely to biomedical research - to understanding the underlying causes of disease. Today, renamed Rockefeller University, it is one of the foremost research centers in the world, contributing to 23 Nobel Prizes as well as numerous other awards.
In its first century of accomplishment, Rockefeller was a leader in basic scientific research and graduate education. Among their many breakthroughs, world-renowned scientists at Rockefeller have:
Discovered that genes are made of DNA. Found the Rh factor in blood. Pioneered the physiology and chemistry of vision. Demonstrated the connection between cholesterol and heart disease. Developed vaccines against meningitis. Introduced methadone to manage heroin addiction. Discovered that distribution of proteins to various cellular compartments is accomplished by a "ZIP code" system.
The First U.S. Biomedical Research Center At the time of Rockefeller's founding, infectious diseases such as tuberculosis, diphtheria and typhoid fever were considered the greatest known threats to human health. New research centers in Europe, including the Koch and Pasteur Institutes, were successfully applying laboratory science to understanding those and other diseases. Following their lead, The Rockefeller Institute became the first biomedical researcher center in the United States.
Rockefeller researchers made important contributions to understanding and curing disease. Simon Flexner, first director of the Institute, developed and distributed an anti-meningitis serum. Hideyo Noguchi studied the syphilis microbe and searched for the cause of yellow fever. Louise Pearce developed a drug to use against African sleeping sickness. Peyton Rous deduced that cancer can be caused by a virus. Alexis Carrel, a Nobel laureate, trained doctors headed for the front to sterilize wounds, and thus prevent infection, with up-to-date methods.
A University is Born In 1955, Rockefeller expanded its mission to include education, admitting its first class of graduate students. It granted its first doctoral degrees in 1959. In 1965, The Rockefeller Institute became The Rockefeller University, broadening its research mandate further. In the early 1960s, new faculty with expertise in physics and mathematics came to Rockefeller. In 1972, the University began its collaboration with Cornell University to offer graduate students an M.D.-Ph.D. program. Later, the Sloan-Kettering Institute became a partner in the program.
The Rockefeller University in the 21st Century Like their predecessors early in the 20th century, some Rockefeller researchers today seek to solve urgent public health problems. Others focus on basic research. Various laboratories study bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics, multidrug treatments for AIDS and genetic causes of cancer. Others are devoted to understanding the brain–how it develops during embryonic growth; how it makes sense of sights, sounds and smells; and what happens when Alzheimer’s disease develops. In addition, faculty focus their research on human genetics, molecular biology, neuroscience and protein chemistry. Press "Blue Button" to explore The Rockefeller University.

History Founded in 1931 as the Bronx campus of Hunter College. Established in 1968 as an independent college of The City University of New York and named for Herbert H. Lehman, the great New York Governor, U.S. Senator, philanthropist, and humanitarian. During World War II, Lehman's campus became the main national training site for women in the military. For six months in 1946, the campus served as interim headquarters for the newly formed United Nations.
For a decade before the entry of the United States in the Second World War, only women students attended, taking their first two years of study at the Bronx campus and then transferring to Hunter’s Manhattan campus to complete their undergraduate work. Shortly after U.S. entry into the war, the students and faculty vacated the campus and turned over the facilities to the U.S. Navy, which used them as a training station for the newly organized WAVES (Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service). To commemorate this period, the Navy later installed a ship’s bell from the U.S.S. Columbia on the campus.

The Albert Einstein College of Medicine is one of the nation’s premier institutions for medical education, basic research and clinical investigation. A full-time faculty of more than 2,000 teaches, delivers health care and conducts research in every major biomedical specialty. From an original class size of 56, the College of Medicine has evolved into one of the largest medical schools in the country. Today, the student body includes 750 M.D. students, 394 Ph.D. students attending the Sue Golding Graduate Division, (117 of whom are in the combined M.D./Ph.D. program), and approximately 360 postdoctoral investigators currently receiving advance training at our Belfer Institute for Advanced Biomedical Studies. Approximately 7,000 Einstein alumni are among the nation’s foremost clinicians, biomedical scientists, and medical educators.
When the medical school opened its doors to its first class in 1955, The New York Times was already noting that “the new medical school’s distinguished and talented faculty assured the institution of a place in the ranks of the great medical schools in the world.” Among its pioneering educational initiatives, Einstein was among the first of the major medical schools to integrate bedside experience with learning, bringing first-year students into contact with patients and linking classroom study to case experience. In addition, the College of Medicine is widely known for its socially conscious approach to medicine. During the 1970s and 1980s it was a pioneer in the development of medical ethics as an accepted academic discipline in medical school curricula. Einstein was also the first private medical school in New York City to establish an academic Department of Family Medicine (1993), and it created New York’s first residency program in internal medicine with an emphasis on women’s health (1994).
The medical school is affiliated with five hospital centers: Montefiore Medical Center, The University Hospital of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine; Beth Israel Medical Center, the University Hospital and Manhattan Campus for the Albert Einstein College of Medicine; North Shore-Long Island Jewish Health System, the Manhasset and New Hyde Park campuses of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine; Jacobi Medical Center; and the Bronx-Lebanon Hospital Center. It is also affiliated with three mental health facilities and four long-term care facilities. Through its extensive affiliation network, Einstein runs the largest post-graduate medical training program in the United States, offering some 150 residency programs to more than 2,500 physicians in training.

Yeshiva University's - Sue Golding Graduate Division is located at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Jack and Pearl Resnick Campus, 1300 Morris Park Avenue, Bronx, NY 10461. Since 1957, the Sue Golding Graduate Division of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine has provided a stimulating environment in which students acquire the knowledge and skills to attain the PhD and MD / PhD degrees and become independent scientists holding academic and industrial positions worldwide.
The Graduate Division provides an extremely collegial and mentored training experience where you will work personally with advisers at the cutting-edge of disease-relevant research in areas as diverse as genomics/proteomics, stem cell biology, cancer biology, and vaccine development. A great feature of the graduate program is its breadth. Graduate students at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine often undertake interdisciplinary projects which draw on the scientific expertise of faculty in the basic science and clinical departments, resulting in faculty and senior graduate students publishing widely and having their work often cited both in professional journals and in the news.
The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS), one of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), established the Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP) in 1964 to support research training leading to the combined MD/PhD degree. The program was designed to train investigators who could better bridge the gap between basic science and clinical research by providing both graduate training in the biomedical sciences and clinical training offered through medical schools. What began in 1964 with three programs has now grown to almost 40 MSTP programs.
The Albert Einstein College of Medicine's MSTP was one of the three original programs started in 1964, and continues its revolutionary and successful tradition. Continuously funded by the National Institutes of Health, the Albert Einstein College of Medicine's MSTP is larger than most others of its kind, enabling the program to have an administrative and academic identity. It is still small enough, however, to provide MSTP students with the integrated and individual attention their unique careers require. This combination has resulted in an outstanding record of placing its graduates in highly desirable post-graduate training positions and in successful academic careers.

For 75 years—half of its 150-year history—Poly has been the embodiment of this concept borne of the school itself and has sent tens of thousands of alumni on the path to their dreams. In so doing, we have helped change the world through their accomplishments—accomplishments that include miracle drugs, the fax machine, laser and bar code technology and the lunar module, to cite but a few. The creative force that pervades Polytechnic and has attracted and nurtured generations of young men and women is what helped mold these leaders.

The City University of New York - CUNY School of Law is located at 65-21 Main Street, Queens, NY 11367. Queens is one of the five Boroughs of the City of New York and is located across the East River and just minutes away from Manhattan. Queens has a population of 2.2 million residents representing all parts of the world and according to a U.S. News and World Report survey, is the most diverse borough in the country
Academic Philosophy Opened in 1983, CUNY School of Law is the only law school that, from inception, has defined its mission as training law students for public interest and public service. Designed to prepare our students to practice our motto, "Law in the Service of Human Needs," our unique and integrated curriculum has made us a national leader in progressive legal education with the highest placement rate of graduates in public interest and public service careers.
The basic premise of the Law School's program is that theory cannot be separated from practice, abstract knowledge of doctrine from practical skill, and understanding the professional role from professional experience. Our curriculum integrates practical experience, professional responsibility, and lawyering skills with doctrinal study at every level. Forming the core of our lawyering curriculum are the skills recognized by the profession in its 1992 report from the ABA Taskforce on Law Schools and the Profession (commonly known as the MacCrate Report) as essential to successful law practice-problem solving, legal analysis and reasoning, legal research, factual investigation, communication (legal writing, oral argument), counseling, negotiation, litigation and alternative dispute-resolution procedures, organization and management of legal work, and recognizing and resolving ethical dilemmas.
We teach lawyering and practice skills through all three years of law school: first-year students acquire clinical experience through simulation exercises conducted in a required year-long Lawyering Seminar; second-year students take an advanced one-semester Lawyering Seminar in a public interest law area of their choice; third-year students earn 12-16 credits in either a field placement program or a live-client clinic.

The mission of Manhattan College is to provide a contemporary, person-centered educational experience characterized by high academic standards, reflection on faith, values and ethics, and life-long career preparation. This is achieved in two ways: by offering students programs which integrate a broad liberal education with concentration in specific disciplines in the arts and sciences or with professional preparation in business, education and engineering; and by nurturing a caring, pluralistic campus community. The learning experience at Manhattan College is enriched by cooperative programs with other institutions, by postgraduate professional programs and by capitalizing on its location on the edge of the cultural center and global marketplace that is New York City.
Our Jaspers receive the special advantages of a Manhattan education – a caring and scholarly faculty, state-of-the-art facilities, and a strong network that links students and alumni to each other in mutually beneficial ways. Manhattan credentials elicit professional advice, internships, and often, placement in a student’s chosen profession.

"A college education not only prepares you to do something - a college education prepares you to do anything!"
College can equip us for our leisure time just as much, if not more so, than it can equip us for our working lives. College educated people are able to appreciate and enjoy literature, art, music, essays, movies, and other products of the culture. Or, to put it better, the sort of appreciation and enjoyment that they have is deeper because of their education.
We live in a democracy, the success of which requires that each of us participates actively and intelligently in the democratic institutions. Such participation includes not simply voting, but critically examining the candidates’ positions, speaking out as an advocate for policy change, perhaps even serving in a leadership role on a governmental body. Moreover, it requires being critical of the institutions themselves, and seeing what needs changing and why. The appreciation of history, the ability to formulate a persuasive argument, an analytic skill with budgets and statistics and polling data - these are all skills you get as a college educated person and they are skills necessary for successful participation as a citizen in a democracy.
The developments in technology and the advances in science are an ever-present, and ever-more-important part of our lives. The growing presence of medications in the treatment of psychological maladies, the possibilities opened up by study and manipulation of DNA, and the prospects for artificial intelligence (just to name a few) are developments that require an intelligent response. Which of the many possibilities opened up to us by science should be pursued? How reliable is DNA testing? Should we treat depression with a drug or with traditional therapy? College graduates are well-positioned to answer these questions because they know some science, and can distinguish quackery from good scientific practice.
This last point applies not simply to the advances in science and technology, but to the information that comes to us via the media. We need to be able to distinguish the foolish fad from the important trend; we need to be able to determine which news outlets are reliable and which are overly biased; we need to be able to figure out where to turn for information and how to navigate between the twin vices of gullibility and skepticism. During your college education you will spend a significant amount of time doing research and evaluating sources. Upon completing college, you will be better situated to be intelligent consumers of information.
Finally, a college education equips people with the tools for self-examination that renders them able to make informed and intelligent choices about the direction of their own lives. College may equip you for a career, but you have to decide which career to pursue, and how to balance the competing demands of work and family. ... Should you work for (or buy the products of) a company that exploits child laborers? Should you buy your groceries from a large national chain or from the local, but perhaps more expensive, market? At what point should you put a moral principle ahead of economic interest? These are decisions that we all must make; if we don’t, someone else will make them for us. And by providing the experience and guidance at thinking through these sorts of questions a college education will turn you into a reflective, morally mature person.
I would argue that the benefits of a college education that I just listed are actually more valuable than the fact that you can get a good job with a college diploma. The reason that college degrees translate into high-end salaries and good jobs has more to do with the skills one acquires in college than with the discipline-specific knowledge of the individual courses. No one is going to give you a better job because of your knowledge of Shakespeare or Plato or the Napoleonic Wars. But students who are successful in their English, Philosophy, and History classes are independent and creative thinkers who can write and speak clearly, who can juggle many responsibilities, who can research a project, and who can take steps to educate themselves.
Even when it comes to the more vocationally-related majors like nursing or business or education or biology, it is sure to be the case that the knowledge you will need in your job will far outstrip what you will learn in your college classes. This is not a failing of the college classes, it is just a fact that specific industries and jobs require highly specific knowledge. It is also a fact that what you need to know to be an accountant or a teacher or a nurse or a biologist will change in response to advances in those fields. One of the goals of a college education is to give you the general knowledge into which you can fit the more specific knowledge required by your particular job. And, more importantly, a college education will give you the ability to teach yourself, so that when you need a new job skill, you’ll be prepared.
When you get a job, the employer very likely will train you to do whatever it is that needs to be done. Large corporations have entire human resources departments and internal “universities” the sole purpose of which is to train the new employees to perform the necessary tasks. The Widget Corporation will understand if you can’t come in on the first day of the job and start making the widgets; their trainers will show you how to do that. But what they won’t show you is how to write clearly, how to organize your time, how to give a presentation to the Board of Directors, how to ask questions, and how to make decisions. What an employer wants above all is an employee who can think, and that is what they expect from people with a college education. Once you understand that it is these more generally intellectual skills which employers desire, you’ll realize that they can be acquired in just about any major.

Colleges and Universities in the United States
Select a college that offers the degree and programs that will help ensure your success in your chosen career. Be sure your school is accredited.
Accreditation in the United States
The goal of accreditation is to ensure that education provided by institutions of higher education meets acceptable levels of quality. There are regional and national accrediting agencies, recognized by the U.S. Secretary of Education, as reliable authorities concerning the quality of education or training offered by the institutions of higher education or higher education programs they accredit.
Without accreditation by a nationally recognized accredited organization, a school is not eligible to participate in government student assistance programs. This means as a student, you will not be eligible for federal grant or loan money. Most employers who offer tuition assistance will not reimburse your tuition if you attend a school that is not accredited. If you intend to transfer credits from one school to another, you will only be able to do so if you attended an accredited school.
