Kingsborough Works for Many People on Many Levels.

From a big-picture perspective, College That Works For You is a theme that is as much a core institutional philosophy as it is a compelling marketing phrase.

We make college work for students because of the way we work with students. The realities of their lives are never ignored. In fact, those realities help drive decision making at Kingsborough – from the programs that are offered to the way classes are scheduled, from the high level of individualized support by professors to the inclusion of real-world experience in the curriculum. Students with big dreams recognize the difference this kind of learning environment can make and repeatedly give us high marks for accessibility, affordability, flexibility, proven career preparation, second-chance opportunities, and strong commitment to traditionally underserved populations.

Our vision of what makes college work is also appreciated by a wider constituency. It is a philosophy that is in alignment with city leaders focused on enriching the value and expanding the circle of public higher education, with neighbors who see us as a life-enhancing resource, with a business sector that wants a dependable resource for dependable employees, and with four-year colleges that appreciate enrolling students who are prepared and poised to succeed. Starting Again Is A Good Start

To get a picture of Kingsborough’s New Start program, envision a bridge leading from a dead-end to a place where anything is PROGRAMS THAT WORK possible. It is a program that gives students the second chance they deserve and desire. It is a On the surface, it sounds simple. Educational and career programs that work – really work – are those realistic alternative for students who enter one developed for a specific population and with a specific purpose. Another caveat is that these programs of the program’s 26 participating colleges and find themselves in academic trouble. It is also a must also be agile enough to adapt as necessary to remain timely and viable. Kingsborough’s “this is just comfortable choice for students who have right for you” approach clearly trumps “one size fits all” in terms of engagement and effectiveness. previously dropped out of college.

Partners In Science And Success

The Department of Biological Sciences is a strong advocate of teamwork – particularly in terms of joining forces with complementary, four-year CUNY colleges to enhance the ultimate outcomes of students.

The Medgar Evers/Kingsborough Bridge Program has been developed to put Kingsborough biology students on a seamless track to complete both their A.S. and B.S. degrees. The idea is to eliminate the transition period that often occurs between programs – a period that can cause a serious stumbling block even for well-qualified students.

At the core of the program is a two-year intervention COURSES THAT WORK and enrichment period to lay the foundation – including improved verbal, written, mathematical, and social skills – for a biomedical career. This aspect is of particular value An inherent role of a community college is to continuously revise, develop and introduce academic and to minority students who are grossly underrepresented in career courses that mirror both the desires of students and the demands of the professional world. this important arena. Other features include academic mentoring, career counseling, money for books, research 2007 has been a banner year in that regard for Kingsborough. opportunities, and trips to scientific meetings and seminars.

  Taking It One Step At A Time

Numerous new certificate programs in an array of areas were added to the Kingsborough curriculum over the past year. While these programs vary widely in content, they are consistent in intent.

11 Constant Learning Means Constant Improvement

Catching up on basic academic credentials, focusing on building a career, or simply wanting to learn more about a particular subject are all objectives that fall under the umbrella of Continuing Education. This year’s enrollment in Continuing Education classes surpassed 21,000 students from all walks of life.

They are adults of all ages taking English as a Second Language courses, pursuing their GED, or earning work-ready certificates in everything from accounting to culinary essentials, from practical paralegal to child care, and from WORKING FOR THE COMMUNITY pharmacy technician to emergency medical technician.

14 The Place To Be In Any Event

If you have ever walked into the Rotunda on the Kingsborough campus, you know what a beautiful facility it is, especially its setting overlooking the ocean on three sides. It’s the kind of place that would be perfect for almost any social or business event. And now it is. One of our best community-centered decisions of this past year was making the Rotunda available on a rental basis, with profits going into scholarship funds. It has quickly become a favorite choice for local weddings, business conferences, educational seminars, fundraisers, and awards ceremonies.

These on-campus events also give Tourism and Hospitality students real-life front-of-house and back-of-house hospitality event experience. GRANTS Caterers hire our culinary students and often offer internships; and students in the brand new Food Product Development Program are Grants are vital to the mission of Kingsborough.
