Its Carnegie Classification is Doctorate-Granting "Research University" (high research activity).
It is centrally located in the MetroTech Center and is close to transportation routes and easily accessible from all parts of New York City and Long Island. In addition to its main address at MetroTech Center in Downtown Brooklyn, the institute offers programs at other sites throughout the region, including Long Island, Westchester, and Manhattan, as well as several programs in Israel.
The university has state-of-the-art facilities including a brand new library and new facilities for its electrical engineering, computer science and computer engineering programs. NYU's Polytechnic Institute offers programs primarily for undergraduate students but also offers opportunities for graduate students, including executive programs for students with related experience and prepares students to play leading roles in these overarching areas through invention, innovation and entrepreneurship (i2e).
The Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET), the Computer Science Accreditation Board (CSAB), American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), Construction Management Association of America (CMAA), and the American Chemical Society (ACS) have recognized the institute's undergraduate and graduate programs in engineering, computer science and chemistry.
Among its graduates and faculty are Nobel Prize,Wolf Prize and Turing Award laureates, notable inventors, world class scientists and successful entrepreneurs. With 40 electrical engineering faculty(additional faculty is being hired), the electrical engineering department is one of the largest in the country. After hiring 20 more electrical engineering faculty by fall 2012, it will become the 4th largest electrical engineering department in the country (60 electrical engineering faculty).
