St. Francis College was founded in 1859 as St. Francis Academy by a group of newly arrived Franciscan Brothers from Ireland. The Brother’s mission was to educate young men from working-class families in the Brooklyn Diocese. St. Francis Academy provided a sound education with a rigorous curriculum and personal support, all for a modest tuition, characteristics that endure today.

In 1884, St. Francis College received its Charter from New York State establishing a literary college which could award diplomas, honors, and degrees. In 1926, St. Francis College built a larger campus near its original site in Cobble Hill, where it remained until the 1960s when the College relocated to its current site on Remsen Street in Brooklyn Heights. The new location and opening the College’s doors up to women for the first time led to an influx of students from all five boroughs of New York City and beyond, doubling the student population.

The cornerstone of the St. Francis College experience is academics. All students complete a core curriculum that offers a foundation for intellectual and professional growth; once completed, they choose from one of 74 majors, many in the liberal arts and others geared to specific professions, included a five year combined Bachelor’s/ Master’s degree in Accounting. An honors program serves students of high achievement and a broad scholarship program supports those who are likely to perform well academically.

An NCAA-Division I institution, St. Francis College offers students the opportunity to play for any of 19 varsity men’s and women’s athletic teams, including its men’s basketball team, whose program is among the oldest in New York City. Teams compete in many well- known New York City venues such as the USTA National Center, home of the U.S. Open, Icahn on Randall’s Island and Aviator Sports at Floyd Bennett Field.

Today, first-generation college-goers and students of all backgrounds are among St. Francis College’s diverse population. Its Catholic- Franciscan heritage, central to life at the College, allows faculty and administrators to embrace, support, and encourage all students as they pursue fulfillment of their dreams.

The Battle of Brooklyn has been a tradition between the two schools in men’s basketball for over thirty years. The annual game is dedicated in tribute to all women who have played collegiate basketball. Each year, a Most Valuable Player trophy is awarded at the conclusion of the contest.

Last season, the Terriers ended a three-year drought, as they defeated the Blackbirds 49-48, on January 17th at the Wellness Athletic Center in the 16th Annual “Battle of Brooklyn.” Senior guard Kara Ayers (St. Francis NY) tied the game at 47, and with that basket became the 12th member of the St. Francis College women’s basketball 1,000 career point club and sealing the deal being named the Most Valuable Player for the contest. She finished the game with 11 points while junior Kendra Williams (St. Francis) finished with 14 points and nine rebounds
