Description
Polytechnic Institute of New York is the largest and most extensive technological institution in Greater New York. The second oldest technological university in the nation, Polytechnic was founded in 1854.
In 1973 Polytechnic absorbed New York University's School of Engineering and Science. At that time, Polytechnic had campuses in Brooklyn and Farmingdale (Long Island), and a graduate center in White Plains.
Polytechnic had an enrollment of nearly 5,000 graduate and undergraduate
students. The engineering enrollment (bachelor's, master's and doctoral) was first in New York State and one of the largest in the nation.
Many of Polytechnic's 225 faculty members are nationally and internationally recognized for their achievements as teachers, scholars and researchers. The Polytechnic faculty conducts over $6 million of research annually.
The two engineering colleges that merged in 1973 to become Polytechnic Institute of New York have roots in New York City going back to the same year. In 1854, the Brooklyn Collegiate and Polytechnic Institute received
its charter from the New York State Board of Regents. That same year New York University established its school of civil engineering and architecture. Both schools began instruction in 1855. And in 1973, the inheritors of these traditions joined forces to form a single institution.
