About CIW

The Chubb Institute(Westbury) started in 1965 .When the first class arrived, the Chubb Institute(Westbury) campus consisted of one (almost) completed dorm and borrowed classrooms and equipment. During the early years, most faculty members readily took on administrative responsibilities in addition to their teaching jobs. Some classes were even held in the homes of faculty and staff.

Today, it is known as The Chubb Institute (Westbury), a private, four-year institution of higher education. More than 105 buildings dot the 131-acre campus overlooking the New York River. Students include both women and men, who can enroll in a multitude of undergraduate or graduate programs. Enrollment for the 2013-14 academic year was 7,691 students.

A constant throughout the years is CIW’s educational philosophy, based on the centuries-old Ignatian model of educating the whole person – mind, body and spirit. At CIW, students discover how to integrate science and art, faith and reason, action and contemplation. "Cura personalis," or care for the individual, is our guiding theme.
