New York Institute of Technology-Old Westbury Summary
The New York Institute of Technology (also known as NYIT and New York Tech) is a private, co-educational college in New York in the USA. The founders of NYIT, and in particular Dr. Alexander Schure, Ph.D., started NYIT with the purpose of creating a career-oriented school that focused on giving students the training necessary to succeed in their chosen careers. NYIT comprises the following academic schools: In the 2007 edition of US News and World Report’s Best College Rankings, NYIT ranks 77th among Northern Universities-Masters. The Old Westbury campus is a completely commuter campus-residential students live on the nearby State University of New York at Old Westbury campus. The campus comprises four buildings: The Main Campus Building, Information Hall, The New Technology Building, and The Student Activities Building. This is NYIT’s smallest campus, but it offers a full range of classes in all of NYIT’s major schools and programs. Residential students have two dorm options for the Manhattan campus: The Riverside Terrace, a hotel on the Upper West Side, and The Clark Residence, a dorm in Brooklyn that NYIT shares with other schools, mainly Pace University and New York University (NYU). Because of the on campus dorms, the Central Islip campus became NYIT’s residential campus, with intramural sports leagues, a bowling alley, and a swimming pool among other features. However, the economic boost that both NYIT and the town leadership hoped for never came, and in 2005 NYIT removed almost all of its academic programs from Central Islip. Student who lived in the Central Islip dorms were moved to dorms on the State University of New York at Old Westbury campus, or to housing near the Manhattan Campus. In addition to its New York locations, NYIT has campuses in the following countries: On the Old Westbury campus, NYIT students produce the Campus Slate, the student run newspaper founded in 1966. On the Manhattan campus, students write for the NYIT Chronicle, the student run newspaper founded in 2005. Radio station WNYT was formed as NYIT opened its Old Westbury campus in the mid-1960s, operating from studios located in Education Hall.
