Queens College Today
Q
ueens College first
opened its doors in 1937,
in the middle of the
Great Depression, to stu-
dents who were mostly
immigrants or the chil-
dren of immigrants. These people came
to the College knowing that education
was their surest road to a better life.
Today in a world that has grown
both smaller and more complex,
Queens College retains its internation-
al flavor with students from more than
120 nations attending classes here.
And, just as before, Queens College is
helping these students to be the best
they can be and address the problems
of a challenging time.
Queens College carries out its
responsibilities by providing learning
opportunities to the community, taking
the word “community” in its broadest
sense. The scholarly resources of our
world-class faculty and facilities offer
students a rich learning environment
and a quality education at a reasonable
cost. Through post-graduate study at
Queens, students may also expand
their career opportunities by learning
new professional skills, fulfill their
intellectual needs, and participate in
research and scholarship that enrich
our society.
Queens College students have been
the recipients of many fellowships and
awards, and faculty have received
numerous national and international
fellowships, awards, and research
grants. 
Graduate programs are offered in
the School of Education, the Graduate
School of Library and Information
Studies, the Aaron Copland School of
