Welcome from the Provost

Thank you for expressing an interest in LIU Post, where you will find a diverse, stimulating and inviting community committed to your success.

We are a campus built on innovation and creative-thinking, intellectual exchange and hands-on experience; a place where students are encouraged to explore new frontiers.

Our knowledgeable faculty, caring advisors, career coaches and administrative staff are all partners in your education. They will guide and support you as you engage in exciting academic pursuits and invigorating activity. In every corner of our campus you will see students learning by doing. They are making scientific discoveries, debating controversial topics, engaging in social networking, performing on world stages, leading sustainable energy efforts, winning athletic championships, interning at top companies, and serving society through community service.

Our student body of 8,700 students hail from more than 50 countries and are enrolled in a vast selection of bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees as well as one of the largest continuing education programs in the region. Whether you are a freshman or seasoned professional, we provide a high level of intellectual stimulation to those who know what they want to accomplish with their education, and cultivate self discovery in those who have not yet found their path.

Our graduates are hired by a wide range of industries, schools and organizations. Our alumni can declare with confidence: "I created this. I built this. I made a difference."

As Provost, my door is always open to you. I invite you to visit my office when you take a campus tour. I'm sure you will agree that LIU Post is the best choice for your college education.

Paul H. Forestell, Ph.D.
Provost, LIU Post
