Queens College is one of the senior colleges of the City University of New York. It was established in 1937 to offer a strong liberal arts education to the residents of the New York City borough of Queens. Queens College has grown into a campus of 16,604 including 12,346 undergraduates and 4,647 graduate students. While it is widely known as a liberal arts college, Queens College is, in fact, a comprehensive college offering undergraduate and some graduate degrees at the master's level. Students from 120 different countries speaking 66 different languages are enrolled at the school, located in Flushing.

The Princeton Review ranked Queens eighth in the United States, in its 2006 edition of "America's Best Value Colleges."[1] The college is ranked 50th among Northern Universities-Master's by U.S. News & World Report (tied with Baruch College, another CUNY college)[1].

CUNY's law school is located on the campus of Queens College, although it is a separate administrative unit of CUNY.
