Welcome to Queensborough Community College
Queensborough reflects the uniqueness of the local Queens community - the most diverse county in the United States. We distinguish ourselves from every other higher education institution in this land with our diversity of cultures, including roughly equal populations of African Americans, Asians, Caucasians and Latinos. In fact, close to half of our students were born in another country, and 47% speak a language other than English at home. Our college environment actively teaches students the value of diversity in a pluralistic society and prepares them for the real world they will face beyond their academic experience.

More than 13,000 students are currently enrolled in Associate degree or certificate programs at Queensborough Community College, and another 10,000 students of all ages attend continuing education programs on our campus. Accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education, Queensborough Community College offers transfer and career degree programs through seventeen academic departments resulting in the Associate in Arts (A.A.), the Associate in Science (A.S.), and the Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S.) degrees. The College also offers non-credit courses, certificate programs, and access to the visual and performing arts which serves both the student body and the greater New York City community.

Why do students attend Queensborough Community College? The top two reasons are to transfer to a four-year college or university and to obtain the necessary skills for career advancement. Our students have specific academic and career goals, and Queensborough Community College serves an integral part in fulfilling those goals.
