Welcome

Briarcliffe College was founded 35 years ago with a single goal: to meet the career-oriented higher education needs of its students, preparing them for success in the business world. The Long Island New York College's purpose is to promote a professional learning environment that educates and empowers students to initiate, advance or change their careers and engage in life-long learning.

Briarcliffe College is located on Long Island, New York (Nassau County) with campuses located in the towns of Bethpage & Patchogue. Both college campuses enjoy the natural beauty of Long Island, including its world renown shoreline, yet are close enough to Manhattan to participate in the rich cultural experience that is New York City and the east coast.

Located in the heart of Long Island's Nassau County, the Bethpage campus is accessible to all major roadways as well as the renown branch of the Long Island Rail road. In addition, both the Bethpage and Patchogue campus are only a short drive away from the major airports in the region. New York City's John F. Kennedy International and LaGuardia and Long Island's Islip-MacArthur airport are all accessible from either campus.
