Welcome to the Colin Powell School at The City College of New York. We house CCNY’s Social Science Departments, which include Anthropology and Interdisciplinary Programs, Economics and Business, Political Science, Psychology and Sociology, as well as the College’s Core Leadership Development and Public Service Programs. With almost 4,000 students, and graduating the most CCNY students annually, the Colin Powell School is educating the next generation of global leaders through a lens of social justice and civic engagement.
We support a faculty dedicated to the highest standards of research and to the university’s democratic and public obligations. In a true reflection of New York City, our student body is half-immigrant, more than 70% are first-generation college students, and 80% are people of color.
