Purchase in the City
Taste the Big Apple!
The cultural capital of the world—New York City—is a mere 30 miles south of our campus. Student Affairs and Enrollment Management has partnered with the academic areas and the Purchase College Association to sponsor experiences in and around the greater New York City area.
Home to some of the world’s biggest companies, museums, and theaters, New York City stands at the intersection of innovation, art, and enterprise. We couple the networks and knowledge of our dedicated professors, staff, and alumni to expose Purchase students to the energetic center of so many industries and movements.
The trips create connections among peers, alumni, and faculty, and with the City itself, which becomes an extension of our campus for experiential learning outside the classroom.
