Wagner College

Be part of the city

Wagner College is known for its innovative curriculum connecting a liberal arts education to practical learning experiences throughout New York City. Set on a hill overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and New York Harbor, the College’s 105-acre, park-like campus is only a ferry ride away from the cultural, intellectual, and professional heart of America. At Wagner, students learn by doing through a challenging, broad-based liberal arts curriculum anchored in real-world application. Learning communities help students connect to their studies as well as their professors and each other. Our small class sizes and experienced professors, who teach both introductory and upper-level courses, are other features of our nationally acclaimed curriculum. Through the Wagner Plan for the Practical Liberal Arts, students become involved in fieldwork directly related to their courses in their very first semester. Internships—required for all students—provide valuable real-world experience long before graduation.

Beyond the classroom, Wagner offers a full spectrum of student activities, including more than 90 student clubs and organizations that not only enrich your undergraduate years but also serve to prepare you for the challenges of life after graduation. As an NCAA Division I institution, students can also join 11 men’s and 15 women’s athletic teams. And if competitive sports aren't for you, our Intramural programs and the College’s 93,000- sq. ft. sports and recreation center provide all students with additional athletic opportunities.
