Our Program
Glasgow Caledonian New York College (GCNYC) is New York City’s College For the Common Good. Dedicated to education through the lens of sustainability, GCNYC leverages nearly 150 years of academic excellence to bring a distinctly global perspective to its degree programs. The College is located at 64 Wooster Street in the heart of the vibrant and historic SoHo neighborhood of New York City. For the convenience of its students, classes are offered in the evenings and online.
Founded by Glasgow Caledonian University, which has more than 20,000 students worldwide, GCNYC shares a commitment to people, planet, and profit with a smaller, tight-knit community of students, faculty, and staff.
GCNYC's hands-on graduate offerings, all taught through the lens of social impact and sustainability, include:
- M.S. in Business for Social Impact & Sustainability
- M.S. in Sustainable Fashion
- Online M.S. in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Leadership
Our programs are focused on teaching students how to create real impact. At GCNYC you’ll get more than a one-off elective about sustainability or social impact. Every course we offer focuses on how key skills can be leveraged to create positive change. We bring these principles to life through theory, management, and practical applications of applied research.

What Our Students Say
"The fact that GCNYC’s curriculum included sustainability – I found it was an important topic to immerse myself in, the integrated approach with business interested me, as well. It was delightful to learn alongside professionals in different industries; I’ve learned a lot throughout the whole process and journey."
Angela Rodriguez, Master of Science in Business for Social Impact & Sustainability ‘20"I am in Penn Station, traveling to Newark airport, and I run into an old colleague. She was working for GCNYC and told me she had never been more fulfilled than when she started working there. This prompted me to want more information about GCNYC. A week later, I was in the office, and two weeks later I started. From day one I felt so passionate and so fulfilled and so eager for the next step for myself- I knew it was right."
