Is Long Island University is private or public university ?

Long Island University (LIU) is a private university with its main campus in Brookville, New York. Founded in 1926, it operates multiple campuses across Long Island and beyond, including LIU Post and LIU Brooklyn. Unlike public universities, which receive state funding, LIU relies on tuition, donations, and private endowments.

As a private institution, LIU has greater autonomy in curriculum design, admissions policies, and tuition setting. It offers a wide range of undergraduate, graduate, and professional programs. While private universities often have higher tuition costs, LIU provides financial aid and scholarships to eligible students.
