Campus SummaryTOP
The Nassau County Board of Supervisors created Nassau Community College as part of the State University of New York on February 9, 1959. When the college opened in a wing of the Nassau County Court House in Mineola on February 1, 1960, it had only 632 students. Today, Nassau serves over 20,000 students on a 225-acre campus located in central Nassau County. The college is fully accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools and is authorized by the Board of Regents to award two-year Associate degrees in Arts (A.A.), Science (A.S.), and Applied Science (A.A.S.) and in addition has offerings in certificate and continuing education programs. Its curricula span the liberal arts and sciences, pre-professional, and professional areas.


Unique/Special ProgramsTOP
Credit and non-credit extension courses are provided at nine locations throughout Nassau County. "College-of-the-Air," Nassau’s distance learning program, is the largest in the State University of New York. Various courses are broadcast on public television and the campus FM radio station. This program offers an alternate method for participating in a college-level learning experience for individuals who cannot regularly attend an institution of higher learning.

Because Nassau Community College is a member of the State University of New York, its students are guaranteed a full four-year degree if they meet academic qualifications on the local campus and at the transfer school. The college has joined with numerous senior institutions around the country, both public and private, to fashion articulation agreements by which our students are guaranteed acceptance upon successful completion of certain criteria while in attendance at Nassau.
