You Belong at New York Tech
Whether you’re just beginning your college journey, a first-generation student in an unfamiliar environment, a recent transfer, or an international student adjusting to a new country, you have a place at New York Tech.
At New York Institute of Technology, you’ll find a community of hard-working, enthusiastic, and ambitious individuals like yourself ready to pursue opportunities in the classroom, lab, or workplace.
At all of our campus locations—in New York City or Long Island, in Jonesboro, Arkansas, or Vancouver, Canada—you’ll find diverse perspectives, expert faculty to help you hone in on your interests, and the support you need to thrive personally and academically.
