Queensborough proudly reflects the unique character of the local Queens community, the most diverse county in the United States. We distinguish ourselves from other higher education institutions in America because of that diversity, with nearly equal populations of African Americans, Asians, Caucasians and Latinos. As of Fall 2020 our students have 64 different languages and have 117 countries of birth. More than 12,000 students are currently enrolled in associate degree or certificate programs, or attending continuing education programs on our campus. Accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education, Queensborough Community College, through its 17 academic departments, offers transfer and degree programs.
