About this school
Eastern Suffolk BOCES is a public trade and career training campus in Sayville, New York, located in a large suburb. It is accredited by the Middle States Commission on Secondary Education and participates in federal Title IV financial aid programs, meaning eligible students can use FAFSA-based aid to help cover costs. The campus is focused almost entirely on one field: LPN / LVN programs, with 176 program completers recorded and an undergraduate enrollment of 310 students.
Federal data shows a completion rate of 76.7%, which is above the New York state average of 64.0%.

The annual cost of attendance is listed at $28,917, and 53.1% of students receive Pell Grants, indicating a substantial share of the student body qualifies for need-based federal aid.
Because this campus concentrates on LPN / LVN training rather than offering a broad mix of program lengths, it may suit students seeking focused, single-track preparation for practical nursing licensure rather than those looking for a wide variety of associate degree options. Program length details beyond this are not reported for this campus in federal data. Prospective students, including career changers, should verify current accreditation status directly with the Middle States Commission on Secondary Education and review the U.S. Department of Education College Scorecard for the most current completion, debt, and earnings figures before enrolling.
