What Information Can I Find on the Long Island University Website?

Updated

The Long Island University website (liu.edu) is the university's main hub for admissions, academics, campus life, and administrative resources. You can use it to choose a campus, explore programs, check the academic calendar, and reach libraries, directories, and support services. The site organizes most content around three campus identities — Brooklyn, Post, and Global — so the first useful step is deciding which one applies to you.

Admissions

The admissions section is built around a campus selector. You choose a campus first, then see the relevant admissions path.

  • Brooklyn — the urban campus, described as steps from the Brooklyn Bridge and Barclays Center.
  • Post — set on 350+ acres along Long Island's Gold Coast.
  • Global — described as 8 countries, 8 semesters, for students who want to study around the globe.

If you are unsure where to start, pick the campus that matches your intended location or program, then follow that campus's admissions content.

Academics

Academics are also organized by campus, with some programs listed separately because they are distinctive to a location.

Area Where it appears
Brooklyn Campus-specific academic listing
Post Campus-specific academic listing
Global Campus-specific academic listing
Pharmacy NYC's first College of Pharmacy, on the Brooklyn Campus
Veterinary Medicine Lewyt College of Veterinary Medicine, on the Post Campus; described as one of only five veterinary colleges in the Northeast

This structure matters if you are searching for a specific major: confirm which campus hosts it before digging into requirements or contacts.

Campus Life, Athletics, and Alumni

Beyond admissions and academics, the site links to:

  • Athletics
  • Campus Life
  • Alumni
  • Research

These sections are useful if you want to evaluate student experience, follow teams, stay connected as a graduate, or look into the university's research activity.

Libraries, Calendar, and Directory

The site also provides practical day-to-day resources:

  • LIU Libraries
  • Academic Calendar
  • A-Z Index
  • Directory
  • MyLIU
  • Information Technology
  • Accessibility Service
  • LIU Calendar

The A-Z Index and Directory are the fastest routes when you know the name of a department, office, or person but not where it sits in the menu.

About LIU and Administrative Links

For background and governance, the site includes:

  • About LIU
  • LIU History
  • Mission and Vision
  • Accreditations
  • Institutional Profile
  • Campus Locations & Directions
  • Office of the President
  • Administrative Departments
  • University Policies
  • Non-Discrimination

These pages are the place to check official status, accreditation, and policy information rather than relying on third-party summaries.

Safety and Emergency Information

Campus safety is split by location:

  • Brooklyn Public Safety
  • Post Public Safety
  • Emergency Alert System

If you need safety contacts or emergency procedures, go to the page for the campus you are on.

Other Notable Links

The site also references the Tilles Center for the Performing Arts, Student-Run Businesses, What's New at LIU, Employment Opportunities, Human Resources, Give to LIU, Parents and Families, the Society of Presidential Descendants, the George Polk Awards, and the Official Roc Nation School Store.

How to Use the Site Efficiently

  1. Decide whether your question is about Brooklyn, Post, or Global.
  2. Use the campus selector in Admissions or Academics to narrow results.
  3. For a known office or person, go straight to the A-Z Index or Directory.
  4. For dates and deadlines, check the Academic Calendar.
  5. For official status and policy questions, use About LIU, Accreditations, and University Policies.

The site does not publish pricing or login details in the material reviewed here, so treat cost and account access as things to confirm directly through the relevant admissions or MyLIU page rather than assuming they are open or free.
