| The Rockland Graduate Campus is
recognized as the County's premier provider of master's degree
programs for adults with course offerings in business administration,
education, health administration, mental health and school counseling, and pharmacy. Flexible
course schedules have been a hallmark of success at the Rockland
Graduate Campus. Courses are offered in the late afternoons,
evenings, and on weekends to afford working students an opportunity
to balance their educational objectives with family and business
demands.
The Campus is one of six campuses that make
up Long Island University, which is the eighth largest private
university in the country, measured by enrollment. Today's
full service Rockland Graduate Campus evolved from the original
extension site that opened in 1980 to meet the emerging educational
needs of the growing Hudson Valley area, into a regional campus
dedicated to maintaining and enhancing its present programs
while concurrently assessing the future educational needs
of area residents. The Campus offers eleven majors and six advanced certificate programs to nearly 500 students.
The Rockland Graduate Campus steadfastly adheres
to the University's commitment to educate each of its students
one at a time in an experienced enriched environment conducive
to personal growth and professional development. Classes are
small and intimate; students receive considerable personal
attention and advisement.
Rockland is primarily a teaching campus, offering
academic and professional programs of study that address the
personal and career needs of the residents of Rockland and
Orange counties, the Hudson Valley and bordering New Jersey
counties.
This specialized and tailored approach to
education has been made possible through the Rockland Graduate
Campus' ability to utilize and incorporate the resources of
a major university while providing the atmosphere and personal
services of a small college. Each curriculum was designed
to help the student acquire and refine professional skills,
as well as to increase appreciation and understanding of cultural
values.

Central to the continued success
and evolution of the Rockland Graduate Campus has been the consistent
availability and mix of a distinguished and seasoned faculty
who enrich and challenge our students. Faculty are drawn from
Long Island University's Brooklyn and C.W. Post Campuses and
from practitioners in the education business and professional
communities. Many faculty members have more than a decade of
service to the programs at the Rockland Graduate Campus. A strong
and consistent governance, the participation of a diverse faculty,
University-wide support and the overwhelming enthusiasm of our
students and our alumni have each contributed and shaped its
growth. The Campus provides academic and career counseling,
a modern library, up to date computer facilities and a professional scholarship
program for part time graduate study.
The Career and Professional Development Program
at the Rockland Graduate Campus offers students a variety
of services and activities to assist them with their career
endeavors. An Employment Bulletin Board is maintained with
listings of numerous job announcements from local and area
schools, agencies and corporations. The Career and Professional
Development Program also provides students with conference
and professional association membership information, as well
as applications and materials on fellowships, scholarships,
grants research opportunities, resume evaluations and workshops.
The Long Island University Rockland Graduate
Campus does not discriminate on the basis of sex, race, national
origin, religion, age, disability or sexual preference in
any of its educational programs and activities, including
employment practices and policies relating to recruitment
and admission of students. Additionally, the Rockland Graduate
Campus takes affirmative action to recruit applicants from
