Wagner College Information

Wagner College is a competitive, four-year private college founded in 1883. It has developed a curriculum that unites deep learning and practical application. The Wagner Plan incorporates our longstanding commitment to the liberal arts, experiential learning and interdisciplinary education with our geographical location and enduring bond with New York City. General Information Wagner is located atop Grymes Hill in New York City's Borough of Staten Island, a neighborhood of historic turn-of-the-century estates and mansions. Once the American home of the Cunard shipping lines dynasty, Wagner's campus provides a setting that feels far away from the city. The campus is 105 acres of park-like hilltop that overlooks the Atlantic Ocean, New York Harbor and Manhattan. We have 23 buildings, including Horrmann Library with over 150,000 volumes. Wagner's enrollment is 1,850 undergraduates and 300 graduate students, representing 40 different states and 13 countries. The average SAT for the last incoming class is 1120, average ACT is 26. Wagner has 100 full-time and select adjunct faculty specialists; 95 percent have the highest degree in their field of study. Wagner offers extensive opportunities for study abroad in the major urban centers of Asia, Europe and other parts of the world during the academic year and in the summer through the Institute for the International Education of Students.
