STOP 1: Introduction

Welcome to the Kingsborough Community College Walking Tour, my name is (guide name) and I’ll be one of your guides on this tour. Kingsborough is focused on your long-term educational and career goals, and it shows in its graduates. Allow me to show you around our school, which is located in the Brooklyn Manhattan Beach neighborhood, an area that is gifted with spectacular views of Sheepshead Bay, Jamaica Bay, and the Atlantic Coast.

By the way, Kingsborough has its own private beach access!

Here’s a little history about our school. In 1962, KCC was one of seven community colleges approved to become part of The City University of New York Public University System; this was done with the help of Gustave Rosenberg Chairman of the Board of Higher Education. In the fall of 1964, our doors opened with a class of 468 students and 39 faculty. Today, Kingsborough serves over 18,000 students with a 32 to 1 student/faculty ratio. Kingsborough Community College is a comprehensive community college providing both liberal arts and career-based education with an open admissions policy. We have affordable tuition, and classes to fit your schedule. Whether it’s days, nights or weekends, KCC has a class for you!

Kingsborough Community College is dedicated to promoting student learning and development, and we take pride in serving our diverse community.
