🏢 Independent & Private Colleges & Universities — 100+

New York has more than 100 independent private colleges and universities. These institutions include research universities, liberal arts colleges, professional schools, specialized colleges, medical schools and other degree-granting institutions.

Private-sector note: New York State's Higher Education Services Corporation maintains an official TAP school-code list for independent universities, colleges and schools. Because that official directory also includes specialized nursing, medical, professional and career institutions, the private sector is substantially larger than a simple list of traditional four-year universities.
