What Campuses Does Long Island University Have?

Updated

Long Island University (LIU) operates three named campuses: Brooklyn, Post, and Global. Each serves a different setting and student experience — Brooklyn is an urban campus, Post is a traditional suburban campus, and Global is a study-away model rather than a single physical location. LIU also hosts its College of Pharmacy on the Brooklyn campus and its College of Veterinary Medicine on the Post campus.

Brooklyn Campus

The Brooklyn campus is described as located steps from the Brooklyn Bridge and Barclays Center, placing students in one of New York City's busiest destinations. This is the urban option: dense surroundings, city amenities, and proximity to downtown Brooklyn and Manhattan.

It is also home to LIU's College of Pharmacy, noted as New York City's first college of pharmacy.

Post Campus

The Post campus sits on more than 350 acres along Long Island's Gold Coast. The university describes it as a picturesque campus destination — a traditional, spread-out residential setting rather than a city block.

The Lewyt College of Veterinary Medicine is located here. LIU notes it is one of only five veterinary colleges in the Northeast.

Global Campus

Global is not a fixed location but a program structure: 8 countries, 8 semesters. Students move between countries across their studies while remaining connected to a top research university. This suits students who want an international, rotating study experience rather than staying on one campus.
