New York Institute of Technology has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 81%. The average net price after financial aid is $22,443 per year.

The New York Institute of Technology is a private research university with two main campuses in New York, one in Old Westbury, on Long Island, and one on the Upper West Side in Manhattan. The university was founded in 1955. In addition to its main campuses, it has a cybersecurity research lab, a biosciences and bioengineering lab, Nassau County's first Class 10,000 clean room for nanoengineering, and the Entrepreneurship and Technology Innovation Center, which has close links to NASA, in Old Westbury, as well as campuses in Arkansas, China, and Canada. The U.S. Department of Defense and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security designated NYIT as a National Center of Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense Education.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: a 56% graduation rate means nearly half of students who start don't finish, which is a real concern worth discussing before committing. On the upside, median earnings of $68,100 a decade out are solid, and the $17,000 median debt at graduation is genuinely low for a private school, suggesting those who do finish land in a reasonable financial position. Worth considering if you're drawn to NYIT's tech and health-focused programs and have a clear plan to stay on track — but ask hard questions about support services and why so many students leave.
