Academics
Students who are considering enrolling at the College of Staten Island CUNY may be interested in some of the statistics that the school tracks. These statistics can help students to compare two or more schools so that they can find the best option for them using objective information.
For example, the retention rate describes the percentage of first-year, full-time students who return to the college for their second year of instruction. This institution retains around 74% of first-year students each year. This might tell prospective students that a majority of those who attend this school in their first year find that they receive everything they need to succeed, and they are happy with their choice.
The student population as a whole includes 12,797 students and the graduate class makes up only 8% of the total student population. And the student faculty ratio is a bit high at 20 to 1.
Some students may have to work during the day, which can make attending during normal school hours, or in-person at all, a challenge. No matter your situation, you’ll want to graduate with a degree that allows you to make a good living. To accomplish this, some students might do better with evening classes or distance learning courses, which can help them graduate on their own schedule and still on time. At this institution, both evening classes and distance learning are an option for students.
The five most popular degree programs offered here include Psychology; Business, Management, Marketing, and Related Support Services; Social Sciences; Health Professions and Related Programs; and English Language and Literature/Letters.
