Introducing Boricua College

Founded by Puerto Ricans in New York City, Boricua College is a private, not-for-profit liberal arts institution designed to meet the educational needs of Puerto Ricans, Latino-Hispanic, and other students underrepresented in higher education. The College is comprised of three campus centers.

Located in New York City with its main campus in the historic Audubon Terrace of Manhattan’s Upper West Side, another campus in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn, and a new campus in the Southeast Bronx, the College typically enrolls over 1,200 full-time students in programs leading to Associate in Arts, Associate in Science, Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, Master of Arts and Master of Science degrees. The College employs one of the largest concentrations of Latino, bilingual professionals in New York City, including 60 full-time faculty, and over 120 administrative and academic support staff.

Recognizing the necessity of a new approach to higher education, Boricua College guided by its humanistic educational philosophy, has developed and implemented an educational approach that carefully integrates traditional educational principles with non-traditional innovations, directed at developing in students the critical thinking, cognitive, affective and psychomotor competencies necessary for life-long learning, professional training and participation in a democratic society.
