Campus Description:
Boricua College is the first private four-year bilingual
institution of higher learning on the United States mainland
developed by Puerto Ricans and dedicated to educating Latinos.
It is the only private minority institution granted an absolute
charter in New York State.
The College is located in New York City and maintains two
campuses: the Manhattan Campus on the historic Audubon Terrace
of the Upper West Side; and the Brooklyn Campus in the
Williamsburg and Greenpoint communities.
Boricua opened its doors in 1974 to 26 students, and
presently enrolls 1,200 students in liberal arts and other
academic programs leading to undergraduate and graduate degrees.
The majority of students are Puerto Rican or Latin American, and
18% are of other ethnic groups.
The College is committed to strengthening Latino culture
through a bilingual, bicultural approach to learning, and
provides students the opportunity to design highly
individualized programs to fulfill intellectual and career
goals. Many of the College's learning activities are also
focused on understanding and finding solutions to problems and
concerns facing Latinos and other Americans to prepare students
for effective leadership in their communities.
The College is chartered by the New York State Board of
Regents, and accredited by the Middle States Association of
Colleges and Schools.

Competitive sports: basketball, soccer, tennis,
volleyball.
