More Power to You
Students today aren’t content with status-quo lectures and classes. They want an active, hands-on education that will propel them into the real world. NYIT (New York Institute of Technology) responds to its students’ passion for discovery, creativity, and collaboration by providing them with a modern education that leads to rewarding careers in fields ranging from medicine, life sciences, and healthcare to computer science, engineering, and business—and even to digital arts, architecture, and interior design. The moment a student enrolls at NYIT, their potential to succeed expands thanks to an educational approach that is equally strong in up-to-the-minute academics and hands-on career preparation.

Maker/Doer Culture
“NYIT’s ‘maker/doer’ culture fosters invention, innovation, collaboration, and entrepreneurship as necessary elements of a modern college education,” said NYIT President Hank Foley. “Most importantly, our students learn what we like to call ‘critical creativity,’ a special mindset that combines analytical and rational critical thinking with creative and imaginative design thinking. By harnessing both sides of the brain, NYIT students learn how to identify, address, and solve challenges, as well as create opportunities that benefit humanity.”

Rankings That Are More Than Just Another Number
The university’s degree programs are consistently recognized by peers and leading accrediting agencies for their exceptional value and outcomes. Perhaps most impactful for families, NYIT is ranked No. 5 among like institutions in the U.S. for the highest mobility rates for student income earnings after graduation, according to The Chronicle of Higher Education.

For health sciences major H. Mellisa Mahadeo, being born in Suriname meant that educational opportunities were minimal. “My family and I came to the United States in the hopes of ultimately finding a better life,” she said. “I know that the knowledge I received at NYIT will take me far in my career plans of working in hospital administration.” Simply put, NYIT hones the passion of a student into a lifetime of purpose and prosperity.
