A Degree For Every Dream!

CUNY's students reach for their bold, beautiful dreams while studying nursing between shifts at the hospital. Writing code after they put their kids to bed. Earning a business degree between shifts at the family restaurant.

For nearly 180 years, New Yorkers have come to CUNY looking for what's next. A first job. A second chance. A better life. And generation after generation, they've gone on to become the people who run this city. Your doctor. Your child's Teacher. Your deputy mayor.

On December 1, 2026, join us for our annual day of giving and make a gift. Because a dream realized at CUNY doesn’t just change one life. It changes what is possible. It changes our city. It changes all of us.
