About
Rooted in the vibrant community
of Brooklyn Heights and minutes from Manhattan, St. Francis College is
the Small College of Big Dreams. Small classes are taught only by our
nearly 300 distinguished faculty members, outstanding internship
opportunities train students to navigate an increasingly global world,
and a network of highly successful alumni actively mentor both
undergraduate and graduate students. The College's emphasis on life-long
education and service-oriented leadership puts all students on the path
to meaningful careers and personal success.
For
more than 150 years, St. Francis has provided an affordable, quality
education to students of all racial, ethnic, and religious backgrounds.
Nearly 95 percent of SFC students receive some form of
financial aid, including federal and state grants, federal loans and
newly increased amounts of institutional scholarships, making St.
Francis one of the most affordable private colleges in New York City.
Merit-based scholarships that cover near-full tuition for graduating
high school students with a 1200 on their SAT's are the cornerstone of
the College's financial aid program.
Nineteen academic departments offer 72 major and minor fields of study, ranging from classic liberal arts to high demand fields such as nursing, education, communication arts, criminal justice, management, medical technology
and many other healthcare related fields. Graduates of our five-year
combined Bachelor's and Master's degree in Accounting regularly accept
jobs at Big Four Accounting Firms and private companies.
Students participate on 19 NCAA Division I athletic teams,
including Men's and Women's Basketball, Men's Soccer, Women's
Volleyball and the nationally ranked Men's Water Polo team and Women's
Bowling team.
The Franciscan Tradition of the College ensures a
welcoming environment that supports students and helps develop the whole
person. St. Francis College challenges all students to expand
their learning experience beyond the classroom and become an integral
part of the community. They belong to more than 40 clubs, fraternities,
sororities, and honor societies. Social responsibility and mutual
respect are among the values that enable St. Francis students to achieve
their dreams.
