Program Goal:

Capitalizing on the fact that New York City is home to some of the world’s biggest companies, museums, and theaters as well as the experiences and knowledge of our dedicated professors, staff and alumni, our goal is to expose Purchase College students to the intersection of innovation, art, and power that New York City has to offer making it effectively an extension of our campus allowing students to learn outside the classroom while creating connections with peers, alumni, and faculty in the City.

Fall 2020 Program Adjustment:

In order to provide the best attention to the health and safety needs of our community and avoid non-essential travel, all Purchase in the City experiences for fall 2020 will be virtual until further notice. Purchase staff still plan to curate exiting and engaging experiences for our students through private tours, personal Q&As with industry experts, and inside looks at beloved sites and locations.

Upcoming Spring 2021 Programs

Programs will be listed at the start of the spring semester.
