Welcome to John F. Kennedy International Airport, "Where America Greets the World." If you've been to JFK recently, you probably noticed that there's a lot of new construction under way. Well, what you see is only the beginning of a nearly complete makeover of the airport.

Following is a brief history of LaGuardia Airport. First occupied by Gala Amusement Park, the site was turned into a 105-acre private flying field in 1929. Ground was broken on September 9, 1937 for a new airport, which was built jointly by the City of New York and the Federal Works Progress Administration. It was dedicated on October 15, 1939 as New York City Municipal Airport. On November 2, 1939, the name was changed to New York Municipal Airport-LaGuardia Field. On December 2, 1939 the airport was opened to commercial traffic. On June 1, 1947 the airport was leased to the Port Authority and renamed LaGuardia Airport, after one of New York City's most celebrated figures, Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia. A new Central Terminal Building was opened in 1964, enlarged in 1967 and again in 1992. The airport celebrated its 65th anniversary of commercial flight on December 2, 2004.

Situated on Lexington Avenue near the Flatiron/Gramercy Park district of Manhattan, Baruch College is in the heart of one of the world’s most dynamic financial and cultural centers. The College is within easy reach of Wall Street, Midtown, and the global headquarters of major companies, firms, and organizations. This “real-world classroom” adds immeasurably to the value of a Baruch education and offers unparalleled internship, career, and networking opportunities.
Baruch College is part of a tradition that dates back more than 150 years to the founding, in 1847, of the Free Academy, the very first free public institution of higher education in the nation. 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.
Today, a thriving, urban, multicultural institution and a senior college of CUNY, Baruch attracts motivated students of proven achievement who are seriously committed to making their dreams a reality. Their ability and drive, along with the superb, professional education for which Baruch is known, have established the College’s national and international reputation for excellence. 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.

City Tech is a place where dedicated faculty, many joining us after successful professional careers in their chosen fields, work side-by-side with students in laboratory settings. The college was founded as a beacon of opportunity available to those who might not otherwise have access to higher education and it still performs this function today. And just as was true on the chilly morning in February of 1947, when the college opened its doors, we have one foot in the present and one in the future, keeping our programs aligned with the high-tech workforce needs of tomorrow.
History The College was founded in 1946, under the name “The New York State Institute of Applied Arts and Sciences.” The urgent mission at the time was to provide training to GIs returning from the Second World War and to provide New York with the technically proficient workforce it would need to thrive in the emerging post-war economy. No one in 1946 could have predicted the transformation the College has experienced. From its beginnings as an Institute - to being chartered as a community college in 1957 - and subsequently transitioning to senior college status during the 1980’s - it has grown from serving 246 students in the class of 1947, to a population today of over 13,000 degree-students (almost 4,000 in baccalaureate degree programs) and serving over 15,000 others who participate in the College’s continuing education offerings.

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.

Baruch College, is one of the many excellent colleges within CUNY - The City University of New York. Baruch College is located at One Bernard Baruch Way, New York, NY 10010. Situated on Lexington Avenue near the Flatiron/Gramercy Park district of Manhattan, Baruch College is in the heart of one of the world’s most dynamic financial and cultural centers. The College is within easy reach of Wall Street, Midtown, and the global headquarters of major companies, firms, and organizations. This “real-world classroom” adds immeasurably to the value of a Baruch education and offers unparalleled internship, career, and networking opportunities.
Baruch College is part of a tradition that dates back more than 150 years to the founding, in 1847, of the Free Academy, the very first free public institution of higher education in the nation. 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.
Today, a thriving, urban, multicultural institution and a senior college of CUNY, Baruch attracts motivated students of proven achievement who are seriously committed to making their dreams a reality. Their ability and drive, along with the superb, professional education for which Baruch is known, have established the College’s national and international reputation for excellence. 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.
