With a wooded 604-acre campus centrally located on Long Island, the
nation's 16th largest population center, Old Westbury offers the best
of both worlds - a quiet atmosphere dedicated to learning yet just
20 miles from the heart of New York City.
Old Westbury offers more than 40 degree opportunities, all well-respected
and many with prospects for students to engage in the real-world while
they pursue their studies. Among the offered degrees are Bachelor
of Arts, Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Professional Studies, Master
of Science in Accounting.
The Old Westbury curriculum is carefully designed to enable students

for students to acquire a broad base of general knowledge and to develop
strong analytical and creative skills.
