LIU Post is a doctoral-level university
comprising seven schools and colleges,
nationally accredited degree programs,
distinguished centers and institutes, a
renowned research library, and a full-time
faculty of 330 scholars, researchers, scientists,
artists, and humanitarians. LIU Post offers
a full range of undergraduate and graduate
programs in business, education, liberal arts
and sciences, health professions and nursing,

Although LIU Post is home to 8,700 students, we
have made it our top priority to keep our classes
small, averaging only 15 to 20 students. You are

exchange of ideas and interaction that can only
be achieved in intimate class settings.

LIU Post is accredited by the Commission of Higher Education
of the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary
Schools. In addition, all of the academic programs are
accredited by the most prestigious organizations in their fields,
including AACSB International accreditation for the business
