Founded in 1955 as part of Adelphi College's outreach to Suffolk county, the College purchased the former W.K. Vanderbilt estate in Oakdale in 1962. In 1968 the College severed its ties with Adelphi and was renamed after its chief benefactor, Robert Dowling, a noted city planner and aviator. Dowling College now serves more than 7,000 full- and part-time undergraduate and graduate students through its four schools: Arts & Sciences, Business, Education and Aviation.
Dowling’s high-quality, personal education distinguishes it from all other area colleges. With a student-to-faculty ratio of 17:1, Dowling provides small classes at convenient times, each led by faculty members who are active leaders in their respective fields. More than 90% of Dowling’s full-time faculty members have earned the highest degrees in their discipline. At two campuses – the historic Rudolph Campus in Oakdale, and the Brookhaven Center in Shirley – students work in a unique setting that blends history, natural beauty, state-of-the-art classroom and library/research technology, championship athletics, and diverse student activities.
Dowling College is accredited by Commission on Higher Education of the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools New York State EducationDepartment, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), International Assembly for Collegiate Business Education (IACBE), National Council forAccreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE).
