New York City College of Technology (NYCCT), commonly known as City Tech, is the largest four-year public college of technology in the northeastern United States, and a constituent college of the City University of New York. It is one of four CUNY senior colleges to grant both associate and bachelor degrees along with The College of Staten Island, Medgar Evers College, and John Jay College.

City Tech is the legacy of the 1971 merger of New York City Community College and Voorhees Technical Institute.

The college is located within the MetroTech BID in Downtown Brooklyn. It has an enrollment of over 15,000 students in 62 technical and professional programs including several engineering technology fields as well as architecture, construction, nursing, hospitality management, entertainment technology, dental hygiene, vision care technology, technology teacher training and paralegal training, including specialized certification programs, two-year technical programs, and four-year baccalaureate programs. Non-degree continuing education is also offered, and serves over 15,000 students each year. City Tech is accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education. U.S. News & World Report labels City Tech as among the most diverse colleges of its type in the Northeast. It is located near the Polytechnic Institute of New York University.

Famous quotes containing the words york, city, college and/or technology:

    When the typewriter stops in a New York office everybody’s embarrassed; men start to quarrel or to make love to the stenographer or drop lighted cigarettes in the wastebasket.
    John Dos Passos (1896–1970)

    Behold now this vast city; a city of refuge, the mansion house of liberty, encompassed and surrounded with his protection; the shop of war hath not there more anvils and hammers waking, to fashion out the plates and instruments of armed justice in defence of beleaguered truth, than there be pens and hands there, sitting by their studious lamps, musing, searching, revolving new notions.
    John Milton (1608–1674)

    In looking back over the college careers of those who for various reasons have been prominent in undergraduate life ... one cannot help noticing that these men have nearly always shown from the start an interest in the lives of their fellow students. A large acquaintance means that many persons are dependent on a man and conversely that he himself is dependent on many. Success necessarily means larger responsibilities, and responsibilities mean many friends.
    Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)

    If we had a reliable way to label our toys good and bad, it would be easy to regulate technology wisely. But we can rarely see far enough ahead to know which road leads to damnation. Whoever concerns himself with big technology, either to push it forward or to stop it, is gambling in human lives.
    Freeman Dyson (b. 1923)
