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:

    “New York is the meeting place of the peoples, the only city where you can hardly find a typical American.”
    —Djuna Barnes (1892–1982)

    “You’ve been trying to keep an honest accounting of city monies. You’ve been dealing with politicians. You’ve been standing up for your own rights, haven’t you? Naturally you landed in jail.”
    —Dalton Trumbo (1905–1976)

    “When first the college rolls receive his name,
    The young enthusiast quilts his ease for fame;
    Through all his veins the fever of renown
    Burns from the strong contagion of the gown;”
    —Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

    “If the technology cannot shoulder the entire burden of strategic change, it nevertheless can set into motion a series of dynamics that present an important challenge to imperative control and the industrial division of labor. The more blurred the distinction between what workers know and what managers know, the more fragile and pointless any traditional relationships of domination and subordination between them will become.”
    —Shoshana Zuboff (b. 1951)
