Long Island University (LIU) is a private, coeducational, nonsectarian institution of higher education in the U.S. state of New York.
LIU was chartered in 1926 in Brooklyn by the New York State Education Department to provide “effective and moderately priced education” to people from “all walks of life”.
In 1951, recognizing the educational needs of the growing number of families moving to the suburbs, LIU purchased a 177-acre (72 ha) estate, Hillwood, from cereal heiress Marjorie Merriweather Post and her third husband Joseph E.
Davies. Located in Brookville, the original home, Warburton Hall, had been built by William A. Prime and was extensively renovated by the Huttons. Three years later, the campus was renamed C. W. Post, in honor of Marjorie Post's father. It has a wide variety of undergraduate and graduate programs, including library science, business and many other specialties.
In 1963 LIU established a third campus in Southampton, where it had writing and environmental programs. As the management of this campus became too costly, the university sold it in 2006 to the State University of New York (SUNY) at Stony Brook. LIU's master's degree programs at this campus were transferred to Riverhead. Ownership of LIU's bachelor’s degree programs located at Southampton was transferred to SUNY Stony Brook.
On March 7, 2013, LIU named Kimberly R. Cline, the current president of Mercy College, as its 10th president. She will succeed David J. Steinberg, who is retiring in the summer of 2013, and be the first woman to lead the private, six-campus institution.
