Southampton Graduate Campus
Caring for Students
Caring for the World

Founded in 1963 with 249 students, Southampton Graduate Campus has grown into a community of about 1300 students and 200 faculty and staff who live and work together among the villages and waterways of Long Island's East End. The College enjoys all the benefits of its link with Long Island University, one of the largest private universities in the country, while remaining small and select enough for students to receive individual attention and recognition.

Southampton Graduate Campus' mission statement recognizes the importance of a close-knit community. "The close human relationships among students, faculty, staff and the community provide a nurturing environment that prepares students with both the skills to become effective members of society and a sense of social obligation that will enrich their lives and careers. Small class-size, outstanding faculty, friendly and accessible staff and administration all combine to create and open atmosphere with an emphasis on individual attention. Students are an integral part of the Southampton community." Our mission statement sums up our obligation to education and community. "As we move toward the twenty-first century, Southampton will remain strong in its commitment to care for students who will care for the world."

The Career Resource library contains current occupational and career planning publications, information and catalogs on public and private schools, graduate school preparatory materials, and state and federal government career opportunities.

Technology Center

The Technology Center at Southampton Graduate Campus is a comprehensive facility that supports and coordinates, across disciplines, all high-end computer activity at the College. Its centerpiece is the Island Room, a state-of-the-art, multidisciplinary computer room that serves as a classroom for courses that use computer technology in an essential way, and as a project room for student and faculty work.

The Island Room has twenty powerful Silicon Graphics workstations, a dedicated Silicon Graphics Origin200 server, and a rich array of peripheral devices -- scanners, VCRs, printers, etc. Software available in the Center includes image editing and other graphics manipulation packages, Web development software, video editing and compositing tools, symbolic mathematics software, and development tools for all standard programming languages.

The facilities featured in the Island Room are of the same caliber as those used for Hollywood animations and special effects, for virtual reality displays, such as those associated with NASA's Explorer mission to Mars, and for the most demanding scientific simulations. These facilities benefit a broad spectrum of students early in their college lives. The experience that students gain with advanced computer equipment will allow them to creatively use the Technology Center as they make their way through college, gaining a significant edge in their post-college careers.
