Academics

Teaching students and preparing them to lead in the 21st century is the mission of Old Westbury...

The goal at Old Westbury is to prepare students to achieve their potential and to create the career - and life - they imagine. Old Westbury offers more than 40 degree opportunities, all well-respected and many with prospects for students to engage in the real-world while they pursue their studies.

For those who are undecided, the College offers skilled advisers to assist you in making that decision. Further, our general education curriculum permits you to take courses from a wide array of disciplines so that you can learn more about yourself and your interests.

The key to academic success at Old Westbury is you.

Spend time asking questions, participating in group projects, and debating the news of the day in class. Team up with a professor and conduct research topical to your interests. Enroll in a Study Abroad program and experience more of the world around you.

An Old Westbury education is an interactive one, and you will be challenged to think outside the box as you pursue your field of study.
