In the best tradition of private liberal arts colleges and universities, Long Island University offers its students personal attention and superb teaching by caring, world-class faculty in small class settings. In the best tradition of the great public universities, our institution is culturally and ethnically diverse. Like public institutions, we seek to make undergraduate and graduate education affordable for all, but, as an innovative private university, we combine affordability with experience-enriched learning, enabling our students to “earn while they learn” through cooperative education, paid internships and work/study. And in the hallowed tradition of all great universities, Long Island University is committed to expanding the boundaries of imagination through research and to cultivating in its students a passion to challenge, to discover, to expand and to reevaluate.

The campus was founded by Long Island University in 1954 to accommodate the educational needs of World War II veterans living in Nassau County. The C.W. Post Campus, which is rich in history, is located on Long Island's famed Gold Coast, on the former Brookville estate of cereal heiress and socialite Marjorie Merriweather Post. The campus was named for Mrs. Post's father, the founder of the Post Cereal Company (now a division of Kraft Foods, Inc.).
