New York City College of Technology (City Tech) of The City University of New York (CUNY) is the largest public college of technology in New York State and a national model for technological education. Established in 1946, City Tech can trace its roots to 1881 when The Technical Schools of the Metropolitan Museum of Art were renamed The New York Trade School. That institution -- which became the Voorhees Technical Institute many decades later -- was soon a model for the development of technical/vocational schools worldwide. In 1971, Voorhees was incorporated into City Tech.

Today, through its Schools of Technology & Design, Professional Studies and Arts & Sciences, City Tech offers 56 degree and specialized certificate programs in the technologies of art and design, business, computer systems, engineering, entertainment, health care, hospitality, human services, the law-related professions, career and technology teacher education, and the liberal arts and sciences.
