St. Francis College stands apart from other colleges with its affordable tuition, excellent scholarship program and small classes led by distinguished faculty. Nearly 97 percent of SFC students receive some form of financial aid, including federal and state grants, federal loans and newly increased amounts of institutional scholarships, making St. Francis one of the most affordable private colleges in New York City. Nineteen academic departments offer more than 70 major and minor fields of study, ranging from classic Liberal Arts to high demand fields, such as Nursing, Education, Communication Arts, Criminal Justice, Management, Medical Technology and many other healthcare related fields. Graduates of our five-year combined Bachelor's and Master's degree in Accounting regularly accept jobs at Big Four Accounting Firms, as well as other private companies. Students participate on 19 NCAA Division I athletic teams, including Men's and Women's Basketball, Men's Soccer, Women's Volleyball and the nationally ranked Men's Water Polo team and Women's Bowling team. For more than 160 years, the Franciscan Tradition of the College ensures a welcoming environment that supports students and helps develop the whole person.
