Glasgow Caledonian New York College (GCNYC) is a private institution. It operates as an international branch campus of Glasgow Caledonian University, a public university based in Scotland. While the parent university is publicly funded, GCNYC functions independently in the U.S. as a private nonprofit entity.
GCNYC offers specialized programs in business, sustainability, and social justice, adhering to U.S. higher education standards. Its private status allows it to set its own tuition fees and admission policies, distinct from public universities that receive state funding. This model enables flexibility in curriculum design and institutional governance.
