Affordable Higher Education in New York City

Affordable Education in New York City is Possible

Ever wonder which of the long list of colleges and universities located within the borders of New York City are the least expensive for New York State residents?

As expected the long list of New York’s community colleges are the most affordable, and the educations received in these schools, such as CUNY Manhattan Community College or CUNY Kingsborough Community College are top-notch.

SUNY schools are for the most part next in affordability, and at the end of about four years students come away with an excellent degree. Unfortunately they are not located within the city of New York except for the SUNY Maritime College in the Bronx. The closest other SUNY schools to the city are located in Stony Brook and in New Paltz, New York.

Private schools of higher education in New York City include the Swedish Institute of Health Sciences; the Interboro Institute; and the Professional Business College, all three in Manhattan.

After these schools the yearly tuition begins to climb to over $10,000 per year, making it a challenge for working people to afford. However, with good high school grades and financial assistance from the school that bests meets the students requirements, often even expensive schools can be attended, and an excellent, cost-effective degree obtained.
