The Westchester Graduate Campus of Long Island University

The Westchester Graduate Campus of Long Island University located in Purchase, New York, was established in 1975 as a regional extension of Long Island University, one of the largest private universities in the United States. The Campus provides master’s degree and advanced certificate programs in the areas of Teacher Education, School Counseling, School Psychology, Mental Health Counseling, Marriage and Family Therapy, Business Administration (M.B.A.) and Library and Information Science. Most Westchester Graduate Campus students are fully employed and attend evening classes, generally on a part-time basis. Year-round course schedules are designed to accommodate this student profile.

Many of the Campus’ faculty are real-world practitioners from the business, education and professional communities engaged in on-going scholarly activities. They are active members and leaders of professional organizations who present at regional and national conferences, publish, and involve themselves in community outreach efforts.

The Westchester Graduate Campus offers a variety of scholarships for courses offered at its Campus to qualified students and Westchester County residents. A special scholarship for the Purchase N.Y. community provides a reduction in tuition for graduates of colleges located in Purchase N.Y. The University also offers scholarships to qualified employees of Westchester County and the City of Yonkers.
