Hunter College, located in Manhattan's heart, is the largest College in the City University of New York (CUNY). Founded in 1870, it is also one of the oldest public colleges in the country. More than 23,000 students currently attend Hunter, pursuing undergraduate and graduate degrees in more than 170 areas of study. Hunter's student body is as diverse as New York City itself. For more than 140 years, Hunter has provided educational opportunities for women and minorities, and today, students from every walk of life and every corner of the world attend Hunter. In addition to offering many academic programs in its prestigious School of Arts and Sciences, Hunter offers a wide breadth of programs in its preeminent Schools of Education, Nursing, Social Work, Health Professions, and Urban Public Health. Hunter offers master's nursing, nutrition, biomedical laboratory management, accounting, education, speech-language pathology, and all the liberal arts, plus several accelerated and advanced certificate programs. Talented students worldwide apply to Hunter's master's fine arts programs, including creative writing, studio art, integrated media arts, and playwriting. Hunter became a PhD-granting institution in 2008, when it was authorized to offer, jointly with the CUNY Graduate Center, doctoral degrees in biology, biochemistry, and physics. Hunter is also home to world-renowned research centers, including the Center for Translational and Basic Research (CTBR), the Center for Puerto Rican Studies (Centro), and the Brookdale Center for Healthy Aging and Longevity. Hunter students are strongly committed to higher education. More than half hold jobs, and more than a third are the first in their families to attend college, and despite the challenges they face, their level of academic achievement is too high. Many go on to top professional and graduate programs, winning Fulbright scholarships, Mellon fellowships, National Institutes of Health grants, and other distinguished honors. Hunter graduates make a mark wherever they go, but the vast majority choose to give back locally. Suppose you come across an influential artist, author, educator, public official, health professional, researcher, scientist, or social-service professional in New York City. In that case, there is a good chance that the individual attended Hunter. The success of Hunter students is mainly due to the dedication and expertise of the Hunter faculty. With more than 1,800 full- and part-time members, the faculty is virtually unparalleled in its breadth of scholarship and artistic achievement.

They are fighting cancer, formulating public policy, enhancing our culture, advancing technology, and more. Members of the Hunter faculty are exceptional mentors, advisers, lecturers, and seminar leaders. By placing a high priority on the classroom, and by providing opportunities for undergraduates to participate in their research, members of the faculty are passing their skills and knowledge on to the next generation of scientists, public servants, artists, nurses, social workers, health care professionals, professors and engaged citizens of the world. Speaking from the White House on January 9, 2014, as he honored a Hunter student who had overcome adversity and demonstrated outstanding academic achievement, President Barack Obama called Hunter "one of the best colleges in the country." Hunter College's academic programs cover more than a hundred fields ranging from adolescence education and anthropology to nursing, urban affairs, women's studies, and Arabic.
