A Message from the President
Queens College, CUNY
Queens College is proud of its history as one of the campuses of the City
University of New York entrusted
with the mission of teaching, research,
and public service on both the undergraduate and graduate levels. As a
liberal arts and sciences institution, the College is a center for the
region’s intellectual and cultural life, as well as its social and economic
development.
Graduate education and research are essential elements of Queens Col-
lege’s mission and important avenues to the
global recognition to which
we aspire. We are now poised to move the College forward and upward
into the top rank of graduate schools. We are fortunate to have a distin-
guished faculty actively engaged in instruction and research in the
national and international arenas. In recognition of their excellence, our
faculty receives $8.5 million annually in funded research.
Queens College offers Master’s degrees and certificates in close to 50 dis-
ciplines, and is also a major participant in eight Ph.D. programs offered
by the City University’s Graduate Center. As an urban research center,
Queens is one of only four City University
campuses equipped with sci-
ence laboratories. More than two hundred doctoral candidates of the
Graduate Center do their research at Queens under the supervision of
our faculty.
Graduate education at Queens thrives in the College’s atmosphere of
intellectual exchange. Here, disciplines are taught, examined, and
advanced, as ideas are explored with both rigor and the illumination pro-
vided by our varied cultural perspectives. Our students acquire first-rate
professional
skills and, more importantly, the necessary intellectual and
critical abilities to meet the challenges of tomorrow.
