The QC Global website is dedicated to international education, research, scholarship and global engagement. The college supports an internationalized curriculum and helps develop opportunities for study, collaborate, and conduct research and internships abroad. We also welcome students and scholars from around the world to our campus. Queens is the World’s Borough, and we strive to reflect our home.
