Long Island University 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 123-acre estate, Hillwood, the Marjorie Merriweather Post and Edward F. Hutton House. 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 Mrs. Hutton'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, located 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 at Stony Brook.
