St. Francis College

What does St. Francis College offer in terms of athletics?

St. Francis College discontinued its NCAA Division I intercollegiate athletics program in 2023. Prospective students should not rely on older references to the St. Francis Brooklyn Terriers, conference schedules, or recruiting pages as evidence that a varsity team still operates.

The former varsity program included sports such as basketball, soccer, swimming, volleyball, and water polo. That history is distinct from present-day recreational activity. Students interested in playing competitively should ask which club or intramural options are active in the term they would enroll, what facilities they use, and whether participation involves fees or travel. Former NCAA affiliation does not imply current varsity roster spots or athletic scholarships.

What student groups and Associations are available at St. Francis College?

St. Francis College students can participate in cultural, arts, academic, and recreational organizations. Listed examples include the Latin American Society, Fine Arts Society, Power Lifting Club, Games Club, and Haitian American Students Alliance.

Student organizations can change leadership, meeting schedules, and active status from year to year. Applicants with a particular interest should check the current student-activities roster rather than assume that every historically listed group meets regularly. Student-run media and performing arts have also been part of campus involvement, offering ways to participate outside a major or classroom.

Who studies at St. Francis College?

Reported enrollment at St. Francis College is 4,567 students. Its student body includes traditional-age entrants and a substantial number of older undergraduates: in the reported age counts, the largest groups are ages 22-24 and 25-29.

Reported first-time, degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduate enrollment was 393, while transfer-in enrollment was 67. Among the reported geographic counts for new students, New York residents substantially outnumbered students from other states. The ethnic and racial categories reported for the college include Hispanic or Latino, Black or African American, White, Asian, American Indian or Alaska Native, and multiracial students; such categories describe enrollment, not any individual student's experience.

The reported student-to-faculty ratio is 15 to 1. That institution-wide ratio is not a class-size promise: introductory courses, labs, and upper-level seminars can have different enrollments.

How does student life look like at St. Francis College?

Everyday life at St. Francis College is shaped in part by its commuter profile. Reported housing figures indicate that about 95% of students commute, so campus activities, study time, and social plans may need to fit around work and travel schedules.

The Livingston Street campus gives students a central place for classes and services, while clubs, student media, arts activities, and college programming provide ways to meet peers. Personal or psychological counseling is reported as available. A student comparing colleges should consider the hours of the particular services they would use: an activity or appointment offered during the day may be less accessible to someone taking evening classes or commuting a long distance.

What libraries are available to students at St. Francis College?

The McCardle Student Library is St. Francis College's main library. It provides an academic starting point for finding course materials and conducting research at the Livingston Street campus.

Students should consult the library's current service information for access to databases, journals, research assistance, borrowing, and study space. In particular, a student who expects to study late or work remotely should check current building hours and off-campus access instructions rather than assume that physical and online resources follow the same schedule.
