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.
