Upholding CUNY’s reputation for excellence in the heart of Staten Island

Public Urban CUNY Dolphins

The central location makes CSI easily accessible from anywhere on Staten Island, and strives to provide exceptional education opportunities to students of every stripe, from those seeking certificates to doctoral candidates. CSI also participates in CUNY’s Macauley Honors College program, which provides an extra challenge to those students who seek to get the most out of their studies.

The campus is nestled between the huge Willowbrook Park and Latourette Park, which offer tons of scenery and trails to enjoy at your leisure. Most of the area surrounding CSI is residential, with the suburban neighborhoods of the borough offering a vast selection of rental options near the college.

The restaurants, bars, and specialty shops along Forest Avenue and Victory Boulevard are close by, giving you great variety to pick from during your free time.
