Founded in 1926, Long Island University has grown to be one of the largest and most comprehensive, independent, multi-campus institutions of higher learning in the United States. The central mission of the University is to expand the vision, broaden the intellect and nurture the humanity of each of its students. As a regional campus of Long Island University, the Rockland Graduate Campus shares this general mission and provides quality academic and professional graduate programs of study to the residents of Rockland and Orange Counties, the lower and mid-Hudson Valley regions, and bordering New Jersey Counties.

The offering of quality graduate programs - relevant in content and accessible in delivery to the adult populations we serve - is the focus of our endeavors. This is accomplished through our status as a regional campus within a multi-campus University, a result of our access to accomplished faculty, high quality course offerings and leading-edge technologies. A small college community atmosphere is developed and encouraged through an emphasis on communication, accessibility, convenience, flexibility and personal attention. A priority of the Campus, consistent with the mission of the larger University, is to provide individualized attention for each student.

The Rockland Graduate Campus is primarily a teaching campus, whose academic program offerings and their delivery are geared to enhance the intellectual and professional development of our students. In addition, the Campus reaches out to local residents, business communities, school districts and other organizations to encourage life-long intellectual growth and career enhancement, and to participate fully as a contributing member of the local community.
