With Manhattan just over the Brooklyn Bridge, students have quick and easy access to such world-renowned institutions as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the New York Public Library, Madison Square Garden, Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center.

Campus facilities include seven buildings and an outdoor theater across three blocks in the Clinton Hill neighborhood.

Campus highlights

Though the College boasts historic brownstones, its library, McEntegart Hall, was named by the New York State education commissioner as an Electronic Doorway Library. The Dillon Child Study Center, a teaching facility for St. Joseph’s child study majors and a preschool for members of the community, was one of the first of its kind on the East Coast.
