Five Towns College is a for-profit institution of higher learning located in Dix Hills, Long Island, New York (USA). Founded as a business school in 1972 by Stanley G. Cohen, Ed.D. and Lorraine Kleinman-Cohen, M.A., the original proposed site for this college was to be in Lawrence in southwestern Nassau County, an area known as "The Five Towns", but the college was actually founded in Merrick. Five Towns College moved to Seaford in 1982 and to the current site in Dix Hills (in Suffolk County) in 1992. Likewise, programs at the college have moved to cover popular music, theatre, film, and communication.

Famous quotes containing the words towns and/or college:
“Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine.”
—Julius J. Epstein (1909–1952)
“We talked about and that has always been a puzzle to me
why American men think that success is everything
when they know that eighty percent of them are not
going to succeed more than to just keep going and why
if they are not why do they not keep on being
interested in the things that interested them when
they were college men and why American men different
from English men do not get more interesting as they
get older.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
