  1. What is NYIT's mission?
    New York Institute of Technology was founded in 1955 with a mission to provide career-focused education, to offer access to opportunity, to enhance learning through technology and to encourage applications-oriented research.
  2. What is the average class size?

    As part of our focus on student success, we keep class sizes small to encourage faculty-student interaction and individual attention. Most classes, even introductory courses, are limited to 30 students, and many classes have fewer than 20.

  3. Who teaches NYIT classes?

    Our classes are taught by full and part-time faculty members who combine academic accomplishment with up-to-date, “real-world” knowledge. NYIT professors are respected practitioners in their fields and maintain their professional credentials and contacts, giving students the unique advantage of a dual perspective. NYIT’s professors act as academic and professional mentors to students and forge connections that often last long after graduation.

  4. Can you describe a typical NYIT student?

    We are very proud of the fact that there is no such thing as a “typical” NYIT student. NYIT students come from many national, ethnic, cultural and racial backgrounds, are equally balanced by gender, and range in age from late teens to senior citizens. What do NYIT students share? A common desire to achieve academic, career and personal success.

  5. Does NYIT accept credits for prior learning?

    Yes. For the most part, we accept credits taken at other colleges and universities.. For information about your individual situation, please contact the Office of Admissions.
