Five Colleges of New York

The Five Colleges of New York is a collaboration among five higher education institutions in the New York City area, allowing students to access courses, resources, and events across all campuses. These colleges—usually including Hunter College, Brooklyn College, Queens College, the College of Staten Island, and John Jay College—maintain separate administrations but share academic programs and facilities, providing diverse opportunities and a broader community. This partnership enhances academic flexibility, research, and cultural engagement for students and faculty, creating a large, interconnected educational environment within New York City.
