20 Best Masters Programs In Brooklyn, NY (2022 Updated)

My overall education received I will give a 5 star. But as for respect for alumni and help available to them I give 1 star. I completed my b.s in 3 and a half years, I got a scholarship for 8,000. I decided to attend because my best friend was attending and enjoyed the school. I also did not want to attend a CUNY, I wanted to try a private college, but not too expensive. My education received was great, the professors were friendly and well educated as well as had expierence in their related field. BUT I have to take a required course for a masters degree program, I would prefer to take it as SFC, so I ask if the terrier come home program applies and they say NO because I am not pursuing another degree. Well, I’m sorry you don’t provide my graduate program. CUNY wants to charge me 2,200 for one class, I asked if SFC could lower the rate since I graduate there and they made about 20,000 off of my degree? They flat out said no, unless I’m pursuing another degree and would not discount the rate of 860 per credit which is about 400 more than CUNY. They wouldn’t discount me anything AT ALL lol. I would never even consider taking a masters degree program, certification or any other course at this school again. It was very uncooth and disrespectful to not offer any discount especially seeing as they made an immense amount of money off of me. I graduate cum laude and would have attended their graduate school but they offer 3 limited programs with a crazy tuition. Save your money and go to a CUNY for your masters. It’s okay for a undergraduate program but masters programs are limited and the amount they charge for the quality for care and respect for students is minimal. When I went the lobby and cafeteria area had classroom chairs and it looked awful, now it’s all done up and amazing looking lol is that what the extra charge is for ? I would have considered paying a bit extra but the way the man replied via email was kind of snark and annoying. You think they would treat alumni better. Oh well, whatever. They raised the tuition at lease 5,000 bucks in the 3 years I was there and if I’d known that previously I would have saved myself the student debt and went to a CUNY 😂🤷🏼‍♀️ Professors get 5 stars. Other staff I give 1 to 2 stars.Jennifer Lynne Mandato Trucios

I am going to be a Sophomore this year and I couldn't be happier with the school. All the faculty and staff made the transition from high school to college very smooth. The faculty and staff care about how your are doing both academically and personally. From the minute I stepped through the door at my open house, I was automatically welcomed with open arms to the St. Francis College family. Everyone from the students to the faculty members are friendly as well, it is really easy to find a solid group of people who will be by your side for a long time. Its also the perfect school for students who want to be highly involved on campus. There are lots of opportunities from department jobs, to research assistants, to clubs and sports teams. I myself am a member of two of their 21 NCAA Division 1 teams, as well as a handful of other clubs and organizations on campus, from Student Government to the Latin American Society. This is the perfect school for someone who wants to be an individual and find themselves, rather than just be one of a few thousand. In just one year I have felt myself grow so much and I can't wait to see what else SFC has in store for me.AnnaMaria Leal

By spending a day at St. Francis College, I immediately felt a strong connection with the school and everybody in it. I have never felt such an amazing vibe like this ever before. I am an undergraduate. Im a senior in high school and i thought i would never find a school that will fit me the best and when I heard about this open house, The school its self was calling my name and when i went, i ended up applying the same day and got accepted a week after applying . I see my future in this school and i am confident that who ever likes being around caring and exciting people, this is the best option for you. I am proud to say that i am part of SFC class 2024!!Brianna C.

I took Acting & Gymnastics classes growing up as a kid @ KCC; along with taking other performing arts enrichment classes @ Brooklyn College also while growing up, although Brooklyn College wasn't affiliated with my high school like KCC was. KCC has a great campus for a CUNY two-year college (one of the nicest in the CUNY system being right on Manhattan Beach) and is also the partner CUNY institute with my High School alma mater, Edward R. Murrow whom it operates the CollegeNow! program with. I spent my Junior and Senior years at Murrow taking KCC college-level courses taught by both Murrow faculty, and visiting KCC faculty (at Murrow) as well as commuting to the KCC campus from Murrow for additional classes that could only be taught on-site @ the KCC campus. It was EXTREMELY academically enriching to be able to enjoy a college level curriculum whilst still being in High School; and that was due directly to KCC's collaboration with my high school. My GPA went up as a result of the CollegeNow! program during my last two years at Murrow as did my SAT scores. I have KCC to thank for that. 👍👏👏👏👏Ben Schaeffer

Kingsborough CC has a very nice entertainment program, well-run and well-sited, with both indoor and outdoor venues. This year's 4-part post-pandemic return to their July outdoor series has been a real winner for the 3 weeks of it so far, with decent weather enhancing the winning combination. Performers have commented on how well-received they are when they come to perform there, from an enthusiastic staff that really respects their art, to receptive audiences. That reputation has allowed audiences to see a number of top-notch acts more than once there, as the artists appreciate that respectful treatment. There have been other events there, all of which were interrupted by COVID since it came around, so there will be needed time to get those back on track. There are cautionary protocols in place even now: those attending must provide proof of vaccination, with masks optional. Not sure of masking will or will not be required once the indoor events resume, but it certainly appears that the staff has kept up-to-date with everything necessary.N H Tanner

Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Donna Marjorie Donzella. I was a student at Kingsborough Community College in the fall of 1992. I was in the pre-nursing program. On November 3, 1992 I suffered a terrible fall that left me in a coma. I was in a coma for five days… Glad I survived and since then have published two books.Donna Donzella

My name is Meir Uteshov and I am a recent graduate of ASA College, class of 2015. As F-1 visa international student, I would say that ASA College is a great place for our educational and career goals. Professors are responsive and very collaborative as well as helpful. During my education in ASA College I was able to make friends with students from different parts of world. The most of them are my lifetime friends now. Classes are not too big. Therefore, providing a tremendous opportunity to study and excel your knowledge and/or skills. I would recommend international students to study in ASA College if they want to be ready to compete within existing job market and get a job they are looking for. One of the benefits of ASA College is providing an internship opportunity. My internship experience in engineering company was extremely interesting and fulfilling where I gained a valuable and measurable work experience. All in all, the college is great for those who is determined and dedicated in favor of their future career/professional goals.Meir Uteshov

Coming from a foreign country, ASA gave me the opportunity and platform to really become a great version of myself and for that I'll be forever grateful. I've had so many good experiences in this school, the professors are amazing and the support for the student activities are wonderful beyond belief. The diversity, location and career services are only a few of their many great aspects. I was able to get a job opportunity at a very prestigious organization using the skills learned at ASA. I am currently in the student government and getting involved with projects that will look good on my resume and open even more doors for my future academic and professional self. I recommend this school to everyone looking to learn skills you actually use in the real world and with an interest of having an active student life. I promise you all the hard work will pay off!Esthefania Abreu

ASA College gave me the opportunity to get my first degree in Medical Assisting in the USA, and also to gain useful experience through work in the admission office. That was even more convenient for me to have school and work in the same building. The professors were very accessible, understanding and always ready to assist with any help or piece of advice. I will never forget them. Good thing is that every student have their advisor to help them with academic issues. The most helpful department at ASA College turned out to be the Career Services which assisted me with my first interview preparation. I can't thank them enough for help with my resume and with job application. After my internship they found me a job in medical field right after my graduation. All that helped me to become more confident and determined to go for my goals! Thank You ASA College!Joanna Nienaltowska

The college has won multiple awards from the CUNY system as well as other institutions for its ability to grant Associate's Degrees at an impressive rate and to foster continuing education at senior colleges. With a respectable teacher-to-student ratio, significant public and private funding, and a central location in New York City, the learning experience has been covered by many publications and studied by experts. However, BMCC also suffers from a large rise in remedial education, lack of freshman retention, and overcrowding. Due to its larger base of capital compared to most other two-year colleges, expansion of new campuses during the rebuilding of Fiterman Hall was possible. Several trailers are still used as classrooms to this day in order to help expand capacity. Internal programs have also been created or expanded to help with academic advisement, provide online access for registration, transferring to other colleges, and job placement. A diverse student base, some of whom had immigrated to America shortly before enrolling, also makes tailoring a viable solution difficult. Improving the retention and graduation rate as well as the increased financial and academic burdens of a remedial program still remain a considerable problem. The Center for Career Development (CCD) provides students with comprehensive career planning services. Its professional career counselors assist students in making informed decisions about an area of study; research occupations that match their personal interests; write a resume; practice interviewing, and help them prepare as candidates for internships and employment. Students also learn to clarify their career goals, develop effective communication and interpersonal skills, conduct job searches, and develop a digital portfolio for employers to view as evidence of their skills, accomplishments and professional qualifications. In addition, CCD partners with New York Needs You, the New York office of America Needs You, to host career-oriented events and seminars to bring industry insights to its students.Nesar Ahmed

edit, update: ended up coming to the conclusion that because all of this uncertanty and my bad living situation I am dropping out, I did all I could, was not met halfway by anone but professors unless I begged here. do not go here if you're poor. Just, no. I can't take it anymore. I've tried to explain my situation to this school multiple times, and I'm left to struggle on my own. I am starving, housing insecure, financially unstable, and unable to make ot to class or properly study because of financial struggle, inability to be alone a place quiet to study because they won't house, and depression. In the end they want to fail you out so you can pay them fees later, I guarantee. I'lll gladly take my review down if it's actually a thing they decide they really want to help me with, only after I have been actually helped, and not as in, money grant to help my situation I never recieve, or new housing program email I apply for and am swiftly rejected because I am not enrolled just enough just yet due to circumstances that are once again not entirely my fault because when I applied here I intended to be taking 16 credits not 7. A joke, an absolute waste of my time and so so much heartache.Jens Åhlund

Very diverse. You can see all kind of people over here. Most of the students and staff are friendly. Environment is good. Friendly neighborhood. If you are hungry, you can find all types of food around the building. It has 26000 student. It also has a big cafeteria, big library, big quiet study place for study and a lot more . All in all this is one of the best college.S M Shuvo

I went to Brooklyn Law School and got five years prison sentence for immigration fraud. I was a student from 85 to 88, passed New York and New Jersey Bar the first time. I don't think the school prepares the students for the real world, at least when I was there. I sent an email to one of the professors who deal with white collar crime and I volunteered to lecture about my crime. She did not even respond to me so what kind of school is this? They never helped me get a job. I went to work for my brother. Who knows, maybe they are just a business more interested in making money. So future students, do your homework before you put your dollar into this institution.Earl David

Best law school for those who want to experience ever "brand" of lawyering. From Corporate to Public Interest Law, BLS provides students with the unique experience to figure out what kind of law fits their career aspirations the best.Daniel D'Costa

A fine institution. Having graduated in 2010, I have only fond memories of my time at BLS. I found the emphasis on clinical offerings helpful. Challenging academic environment, dedicated faculty, neat, compact campus.Alejandro Rodriguez

Hopefully they remove all the creepy staff…. Counselor Camacho has stalked more than one friend on IG. There's a whole reddit page exposing the staff but touro doesn't fire anyone or care about the studentsTaylor Oh

Great education with professional team of professors and location is perfect , also not cost a fortune just like others.Burhan Sebin

I grew up there from age 2 to age 8.. I played there on the grounds , and from the very earliest years of my artistic life had the privilege of experiencing the wondrous variety and post hippie era 70s eccentricities of the students and their artwork as displayed.. All around the campus grounds inside and outside.. As well.. I was artistic and (being a kid in particular) very easily stimulated creatively by the beauty and variety of artwork I saw and the people students and faculty alike I got to know..Mistynne D Strong

I came this school on June 07. And today June 08/2018 . For some projects discuss with director of this school. An artistic is very easily stimulated creatively by the beauty and variety of artwork. I saw the people and students in this school building. They all greeting and welcome to me politely. I like hereZ Jing

When you relocate and want to study, finding a good school is a challenge.I learned about Touro GST from my fellow community members and after doing my research, I thought it was the best option for me being a career changer. It has been a wonderful journey, from finding the school, looking to enrol in the right program and learning a whole lot of new things! The staff at Touro has been really helpful to guide me through! At Touro they not only teach, they also guide and mentor and help you throughout the program and even after, with their commendable career services! Thank you Touro GST!Reshma Virani

The education system is superb and this is shown with the teachers and how they relate with their students’ needs. The technology that they provide as they teach open more doors of possibility for future employment. The whole staff is always open to answer questions of students to help them with their applications, registrations and Financial Aids, in addition to their studies. In Touro College Graduate School of Technology, their students will always feel at home.Jefferson D

Professors are pleasant people who explain themselves clearly. The atmosphere is welcoming to everyone and a large diverse population. The studies are what is expected of a professional college with fair amount of homework and exams are based on the work done in class. Questions are staightforward, not tricky. This college is for a student that really wants to know the work.Feigy Weinstock

How do I even begin to explain the change I experienced not only academically but personally at MCNY? First the staff was so welcoming and genuinely interested in ME!! They were warm and informative to me as a mature learner and put me at ease immediately as to all the young people walking around. I really thought I could not keep up. NOT! Then, the faculty. Yes, they were tough but tough to keep you on your toes and interested. ALL of them were outstanding. They instilled a discipline in me to stay focused, be on time and prepared and do your assignments!! They had a personal interest in my succeeding. (Hey Heidi). They held me to a standard and made ME motivated to finish and finish I did. I got to carry my schools flag at graduation!! I am so blessed to be an MCNY Graduate of 2007 BABY! I recommend to my mature prospects to GO FOR IT! You cant lose.Gwendolyn Belle

Metropolitan College of New York is one of the best hidden secrets for higher learning. As a graduate of MCNY with a Bachelors in Business Administration, I learned so much from my professors. They took the time to explain what they wanted from their students. We met afterwards if I didn't understand something and they even took the time to set up tutoring sessions for their students. I would recommend MCNY to anyone who is looking to get their under graduate or graduate degree. The class schedules are set up for busy adults who work and/or run their own businesses and need flexibility to get the education they need to succeed. I started out at the Bronx Campus and moved to the main campus after my fourth purpose. I loved every minute of it. Looking to go back to get my graduate degree. Eula M. Guest Class of 2005EM Guest

MCNY is an exceptional college with knowledgeable faculty and staff. The school has a unique approach on how it caters to their students educational experience. I benefited from one on one sessions with my CA instructor who took time to understand me and listen to my ideas. He offered guidance and openly shared his experiences with the class. He wanted all of us to succeed but most importantly understood what it means to be a professional. He wanted us to understand that not matter the circumstances to continue learning and researching our fields. He kindly reminded us how we can learn from everyone and to never stop being learners.Luz Maria Mack

The history of Astral Oil lighting the world starts out at the scene in the Gilmore Girls at the Whaling Museum at Cape Cod, and moves here Of course there are the wonderfully creative students that take what they learn here and go on to do amazing things. Then those amazing felines called the Pratt cats. Take a tour of the power/heating station and get a feel for the history flowing and enlightening people. My urban brooklyn turtle who has grown to be huge, was just a little guy when he lived at Pratt.Peter Bachman

The architecture program is one of the best in the country and definitely the best undergrad in the city. The campus is gorgeous and dorms are alrightJames Talbot

My mom went here for SHRM certification and she absolutely loved it. Their schedule is flexible for hard working students. My mom was able to work during the day and because they are perfectly located in Midtown she was able to complete her course load without much travel. The teachers were great and they prepared her well for her Shrm test!Javier Kato

Professionalism for all professors are on point, as they bring to the classroom life experiences for students to understand what to expect moving forward.Annmarie Schrouter

Polytechnic has been rated in the top 10 of the world rankings for income after graduation for the last 5 years. After attending this University, I can see why. The opportunities have been enormous since graduation and I have this school and hardwork to thank. The curriculum is second to none but more importantly, NYU-Poly offers lots of hands on experience. I had the opportunity to work with a dozen different companies that were struggling to make it in this bad economy and apply the tools I learned in class to turn them around. I was even offered a full time position with one of them within one week of working with them. Professor Greenstein and Albano are two of the best professors I have ever had. The social life is what you make of it! This is an ENGINEERING SCHOOL, so of course, you wont have the partying an art or business school may have. However, you are in the middle of the best city on earth! If you cant have fun and have a good social life in New York, its you that is the problem, not the school! Overall, I would recommend NYU-Poly to anybody that wants to better themselves if they dont mind a lot of hard work! I was a U.S. Seabee and I our motto was to work hard and play hard, this is the best place to accomplish both!FlowState Overlanding

I graduated Poly in 1983, pinned on 2nd Lieutenant bars the next day, and had a successful 22-year career as an Army Engineer officer, followed by a Federal Agent career at present. Poly was VERY DEMANDING–and most other life pursuits were undaunting given the academic rigor and resulting intellectual energy. Two masters were easy, most others from engineering schools seemed underequipped. Strongly recommend the Mechanical Engineering department!mike wickman

I usually come here to get breakfast and/or coffee which is actually Starbucks branded as Seattle's best (and much cheaper). The breakfast omelettes are quite expensive now they have changed the prices but the sandwiches are still decent. The prices otherwise are affordable and there's a large selection of food types. They have their own hand rolled sushi on display everyday as well as other foods.Johnny M

CITE is a excellent program. I have completed my Master in early childhood special and general education. My experience was amazing. I really recommend to any one for their education. CITE is affordable and have Saturday classes.rosa fernandez

I am a "Brooklyn College kid." Both of my parents were Faculty members in the English Department (my Father was also Department Chairman for a number of years). I grew up nearby to the campus, in the local neighborhood. I spent a lot of time on the campus in my youth, whether it was hanging out in the English Department offices in Boylan Hall, or swimming in the BC Athletic Center pool, or taking theater/voice/piano classes/lessons in the Gershwin Center for the Performing Arts (now known as the Tow Performing Arts Center) on Campus Road. I found that the campus (for an urban "commuter" school) to be uncommonly beautiful. The gardens and the quad are MUCH more picturesque than other CUNY campuses, and the original college buildings are very Georgian and stately. It also has excellent facilities for a CUNY campus. During my gap years in between high school (I attended nearby Edward R. Murrow High School) and college, I took a few different classes at Brooklyn (faculty family members can attend for reduced tuition), but I ultimately ended up going to college out of state up in Massachusetts to earn my degree at a private college. That was just a personal choice, but I know that you can get a top-notch education at Brooklyn College, and I believe it and Hunter (where I also took some gap-year classes) are the two strongest 4-year colleges academically within the CUNY system. City and Queens Colleges are also good schools, but I believe Brooklyn and Hunter are even stronger and more dynamic institutions. They are the two CUNY institutions that I believe are the BEST within the CUNY system overall; and where it's possible to get the most "well-rounded" liberal arts education in public higher education.Ben Schaeffer

Campus is beautiful. Much better than Hunter which is all crowded buildings. They spend a ton on landscaping I hear. With respect to professors, I do think they care but their habds are tied. They are overworked with huge class sizes and my guess is underpaid for the amount of time they invest. It is definitwly more of a commuter college with very few people living on campus. Social life is possible. There are lots of clubs, but it is a different experience than say the immersion of an NYU or Columbia. It definitely is diverse, which brinfs me to my last point that I felt racially hunted if you will from the second I walked into the West Quad to apply. I live in the community near another CUNY school which will go unnamed. As a female, I have a right to study freely and things did not go well for me as a result here which was immensely disappointing. Also, a woman's teacher who talked about Roe v. Wade being abolished which we are living it now. It's like she foretold everything. Didn't really feel like she was pushing women's rights rather cursing us which was also a good bit of my experience trying to study psychology as a science. Never encouraged to go the route of the Medical partnership they have with SUNY which was why I went here. Hey Professors! The 50's are over. It's 2022.Jennifer Riggin

From my experience , most of the faculty do not care about it’s students , they don’t give full answers to questions you may have , they dance around them or ignore them. They ( the departments such as bursar and etc ) are unprofessional and never answer calls when they are open and supposed to. They automatically side with teachers with unfair policies that the teachers make up themselves, even though the policies suggest otherwise. Some of the teachers are extremely rude and unfair to students because they know they’ll get away with it. They just aren’t helpful , the only helpful people who actually care about helping students in this school are the people working in the financial aid office.Emani Love

Admissions office has one particular person who is very rude and she doesn't really help or guide you through the process.She does not make an already stressful transition any easier.(she sits furthest from the door.In front of the kiosk) Admissions also has another woman who is GREAT at her job she is helpful and very pleasant. Bursar's office Ali needs to get off his phone when dealing with incoming students.Sometimes we don't know what to ask. But if you have your head phones in and give little to no eye contact it gives off the feeling that you are bothering these people even though they are at work. -IT department is good.The staff in their are very personal able and helpful!Niacole' Dee D

One of the best colleges ever. They have many programs that will help you succeed. They even have books in the library that you can use to study if you don’t have your course textbooks on hand. Great advisors my advisor when I went to Medgar was Ms. Glenda W……… They make sure students graduate before time and on time. They offer many things. It was a virtual graduation . Dr. Lashley knows we well . I even won my traveling suitcase from them now I’m throwing it out it has water damageDeandrea Lee

My needs were addressed and there was a follow up call made . Thank you ! . (After an original horrible experience ) For those who have issues within a facility please speak up and get your needs addressed and met . School isn’t free ! Have your money count. *Update *- I ended up leaving the school. Unfriendly staff , don’t get your money’s worth , no one seems to know what they are doing OR care . Went to another CUNY and I am having a way better experience !!!Crystal Clark

I would give this school 0 stars if I could. I personally go to this school and they do not care about the students. I was given a schedule and 3 weeks in my first semester I found out THEY gave me the wrong classes and if I didn’t ask to change a class I would’ve gone through my entire college career and not be able to graduate because they gave me the wrong classes. The advisors do not check the schedules they give out to students and they make you feel as if you’re stupid when you’re talking to them. The environment of the place is just poor, for the time I’ve been here I’ve been the most depressed I’ve been my entire life, the people in the school aren’t friendly and some teachers pick on certain students just because they don’t like them for their own personal reason. I WOULD NEVER recommend anyone to this school, DON’T EVEN APPLY.Princess Danielle

As far as the graduate nursing program goes, to say the least, there is room for improvement. Although most of the teachers were knowledgeable, there was one instructor who was both disorganized and maniacal. She single handedly ruined the experience and many of my classmates grades because she was unable to provide consistent instruction for multiple semesters. Her ineptitudes and inappropriateness were brought to light however the program continues to struggle under her instruction. Additionally, the behind the scenes aspects like health clearance are also wildly disorganized, last minute and rude. WHAT A MESS!Nicole

9/10 times Professors are great. Every school has a couple of poor professors. Scheduling is terrible. Not enough classes offered. They will most likely not accommodate. You must accommodate to them sometimes feels like the school will not work with you. Very Frustrating. Classes themselves are mostly good. Parking is usually not a huge issue. School has potential to be 5 stars but lack of classes available and consistent poor schedules block that potential. I put 3 but I would give it 2 1/2Douglas Rollo

It’s a great college. Students are intelligent and the facility itself is wonderful. From my 4 years there, what I did not like is the staff and some professors. The staff is rude and makes everything harder than it needs to be. Many professors are wonderful and knowledgeable. If you’re lucky, you’ll have lectures from great professionals in the field. However, there are some professors even with PhDs who do not know what they’re doing. And some of these professors will blame students for their incapability. If you want to graduate, get ready to endure a lot!Daniela P Niemeyer

This center deserves no star. I have to give one star because google won't post the review. The center people are non-responsive and no acknowledgement of email correspondences. So if you are in NYC, you can probably see these people and have them interact. if you are not in NYC, good luck getting them to help you with career service !!!! Does not matter if you are former students…ni a

Worst support, some bursar's office employees don't know how to do their job and all they care about is money, assign a very late orientation and lets you get the worst class schedule with worst professors that they need to get educated themselves, very bad it's the biggest scam please do yourself a favor and study buisness somewhere else.Sarah Ibrahim
