Auditors must enroll for a three-credit course and pay one-half tuition plus fees. Housing charges are as outlined in this catalog.

CERTAIN COURSES AND WORKSHOPS MAY NOT BE OPEN TO AUDITORS.

Caring for Students
Caring for the World

Founded in 1963 with 249 students, Southampton College 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 College's 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."


In addition, the office publishes a bulletin on specific job openings, announces recruiting visits and houses a Career Resource library that 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. Summer program participants are encouraged to come in and utilize the available resources. The Office offers current job listings by the New York State Job Services Computer. Job listings as well as testing information and community services are listed in both English and Spanish.
