About Briarcliffe College - Patchogue

In over four decades of serving Long Island, Briarcliffe College has seen the area’s population grow, particularly in the eastern part of the Island, and we have responded to that growth. In the 1980s, we established a second campus in Patchogue, providing convenient access to day and evening classes for residents throughout Suffolk County.

Our expansion has also included an increase in the number of adult students who attend Briarcliffe. To meet the unique needs of working adults, we established an academic calendar that is specially structured to enable students who work during the day to attend school full-time in the evenings.

Briarcliffe also works closely with local businesses, seeking their input and utilizing their expertise to help shape our curriculum and to ensure that Briarcliffe students receive an education specifically designed to expand their employment opportunities.
