Since 1916, St. Joseph's College has provided an affordable liberal arts education to a diverse group of students.

SJC Long Island challenges its approximately 3,300 students to develop their full potential and a joy of learning. With more than 400 faculty members, the College enjoys a student-to-faculty ratio that provides individual attention in an open, supportive atmosphere.

The campus is located in Patchogue at 155 West Roe Boulevard, directly off Sunrise Highway.

New York City is just a short ride on the Long Island Rail Road.

Campus facilities include six buildings and the Outdoor Field Complex, spread over a 30-acre lakeside campus on the outskirts of Patchogue Village.
