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:
“The improved American highway system ... isolated the American-in-transit. On his speedway ... he had no contact with the towns which he by-passed. If he stopped for food or gas, he was served no local fare or local fuel, but had one of Howard Johnson’s nationally branded ice cream flavors, and so many gallons of Exxon. This vast ocean of superhighways was nearly as free of culture as the sea traversed by the Mayflower Pilgrims.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
“A college of wit-crackers cannot flout me out of my humor. Dost thou think I care for a satire or an epigram?”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
