St. Francis schedules admissions tours and appointments on a case by case basis. I sat with the admissions officer Sylvia Carrion (see video), who is also Class of 2009 from the school. St. Francis is a small liberal arts college, which is associated with the Franciscan order of monks. Located in Brooklyn Heights, a neighborhood in Brooklyn, the college occupies two buildings. The school prides itself in individualized attention and Sylvia said that professors know students by name and are very approachable. Interestingly enough, this small school is Div I athletics for men and women (a VERY tall student passed us by in the hallway)!
The curriculum is composed of core requirements (42) – some of the courses include religion, 3 Philosophy, and 2 credits of health among other traditional core requirements. Generally, students need 128/9 credits to graduate in their major. Classes are small and in many cases and in many cases are seminar style (15 or so). Students have an advisor through Freshman Advising and their schedule is designed by their advisor for their first year. As the other NYC colleges and university, internships are available in industries all around the city.
Housing is provided for out of state students in an apartment building shared with a number of area colleges. Many students do commute though. Financial Aid is need based, but there are also merit based scholarships available.
