1. The Met 360° Project

The Metropolitan Museum of Art has offered virtual tours since 2016. The Met 360 Project lets you explore The Great Hall, the Temple of Dendur and even the Met Cloisters Garden from your couch. While the videos are playing, you are invited to actively participate. Instead of just watching a video, you can change the direction of the camera by clicking or tapping your finger and explore at your own leisure.

2. American Museum of Natural History

The American Museum of Natural History lets you explore different halls through Google. Seeing the American Museum of Natural History like this will remind you of “Night at the Museum” because you’ll have it all to yourself!

Tour the AMNH

3. Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum

In the same way that the American Museum of Natural History lets you tour the museum, New York’s Guggenheim Museum has also partnered with Google to bring you into the museum using the “Street View” mode. You can also walk the famous snail-shell-shaped corridor from the entrance to the very top!

7. Online Exhibit at the Museum of the City of New York

8. Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Video Gallery

The aircraft carrier U.S.S. Intrepid does not offer a virtual tour in the same way that other cultural institutions do but their website offers a comprehensive video gallery. Some of the videos feature tour guides and behind-the-scenes footage.

9. Audio Tour of the 9/11 Memorial Museum (narrated by Robert de Niro)

A virtual tour of the 9/11 Memorial Museum is available to members only and a membership costs $75 a year. If you do not want to spend the money but still explore the museum, there is another option. I just downloaded their audio guide via the app (190 MB). It guides its listeners through the most important parts of the museum. The app is available for both iOS and for Android.

10. Watch & Listen by Lincoln Center

The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center has decided to live stream concerts to audiences at home. You can access a variety of concerts, even after they have been broadcast. Check out the list below.

11. Stars in the House

As Broadway went dark, The Actors Fund quickly acted and created a mini-show called “Stars in the House” on Youtube. Every day, you get insight into Broadway actors’ lives and careers. Of course, the streams wouldn’t be complete without a live performance.

Take a virtual tour of these NYC cultural institutions from home

Stuck inside? You can still experience some of New York’s best cultural offerings from your home

New Yorkers are spending more time at home than likely ever before, as the novel coronavirus pandemic has led to limits on how many people can gather in one place at any given time, and the widespread closure of the city’s myriad cultural institutions.

But many of those institutions—museums, parks, performing arts centers, libraries, and more—have risen to the challenge, providing virtual access to their buildings and collections. In a challenging time, these virtual experiences offer New Yorkers many ways to stay entertained and connected to the city’s plethora of incredible cultural offerings.

Below, find a list of what’s available from various online platforms, museums, and more.

Several New York City museums can be experienced via Google’s Arts & Culture platform , including the Met , the Museum of Modern Art , the Brooklyn Museum , and the Cooper Hewitt . In addition to providing a glimpse at those museums’ collections, the platform also lets you explore their buildings—so if you’ve never visited Frank Lloyd Wright’s nautilus-inspired Guggenheim building , now’s the time to do so (virtually).

Some museums also have virtual tours or exhibitions on their websites, including the Frick , the Museum of the City of New York , the Whitney Museum , the New-York Historical Society , the New York Public Library , The New York Transit Museum , and the Tenement Museum .

In a partnership with the New York Latino Film Festival, each week El Museo del Barrio will feature shorts, films, and documentaries from the fest on its website. The American Museum of Natural History is sharing previously recorded tours via its Facebook and Twitter accounts . History buffs can listen to more than 350 oral histories from New Yorkers on the Coney Island History Project’s website in addition to exploring their online collections .

Many city museums have also shared items from their collections using the hashtag #MuseumAtHome and #MuseumMomentofZen on Twitter—both are good to follow if you need a moment of levity in the middle of a stressful time.

Though New York City’s library branches are closed, many of the services that they provide—including access to e-books, research materials, and more—are available digitally. See what’s available via the New York Public Library , Brooklyn Public Library , and the Queens Public Library .

Many city parks remain open, but one of the most popular outdoor spots—the High Line—has closed for now. But you can still go on a virtual tour of the elevated park through Google Arts & Culture .

Looking for some activities in honor of Earth Day? The Museum of the City of New York has a bevy of resources for young environmentalists . A video explains the day’s origins and features readings of two ecologically themed picture books. For a jaunt in the outdoors without physically going outside, the New York City Parks Department offers virtual tours of some of its flagship green spaces, including Central Park and the Staten Island Greenbelt . The Parks@Home webpage also offers an array of digital content including live broadcasts from park rangers, of how-tos for up-cycled art projects, and of meditation sessions.

At the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, the Sakura Matsuri , or cherry blossom festival, has been an annual tradition since 1982. The garden was forced to cancel this year’s festival, but it’s still possible to admire the blossoms from afar: virtual tours will be available on its Instagram and Facebook pages.

And the Natural Areas Conservancy has a nifty online map that charts the more than 20,000 acres of the city’s natural areas—forests, freshwater wetlands, salt marshes, and streams—if you’re hankering for some outdoor exploration.

The New York Landmarks Conservancy has a video series called “Tourist In Your Own Town,” which takes viewers on tours of historic landmarks (including President Theodore Roosevelt’s birthplace and the Dyckman Farmhouse Museum).

The city’s Landmarks Preservation Commission has launched Seneca Village Unearthed , an online exhibit and collection of artifacts from what was once New York City’s largest community of free African-American landowners. The exhibit offers access to nearly 300 artifacts for a glimpse of what life was like for Seneca villagers in the mid-19th century.

Urban Archive is another resource chock full of digital resources to explore in partnership with 40 museums, cultural organizations, and government agencies. The archive offers a seemingly endless collection of curated historic images and their histories. For instance, as part of the #NewYorkfromHome campaign, the Municipal Arts Society and Urban Archive create two digital tours: Epidemic, New York in 1918 , and Hospitals through History .

The 92nd Street Y has also made videos from its archives available to watch at home, and will livestream some of its planned concerts.

In the first in a series of online shows created for the Pace Gallery, the digital exhibit Saul Steinberg: Imagined Interiors brings together drawings, collages, and photographs by New York-based cartoonist and illustrator Saul Steinberg. The show explores interior spaces as sites for introspection and creativity, and will be on view online until April 6.

Highly recommend this experience to the people of NY and all visiting tourist. I the history lesson is invaluable but the ride is the icing on the top. Definitely will be doing it again.

I think I enjoyed this exhibit the most because I am a native New Yorker. The exhibit goes into how New York City has been at the center of many world-changing moments and how it has resulted in being the center of things like fashion, music, architecture, entertainment and more. There are cute vignettes you can take your picture with including the set of The Honeymooners and friends and The Tonight show. At the end of the exhibit, there is a 7-minute ride that is pretty cool. I wish we could get on the ride multiple times but once you exit, you are leaving the building. You can go through the exhibits at your pace so it is easy for anyone who needs to rest or walk less.

Like a piece of Disneyworld in NYC, this fun attraction left us wanting to go back for more. It’s just the right amount of information in the very interesting set of museums - like a little historical buffet!- and the ride at the end reminded us of the “Soarin’” ride at Disneyworld, but without the 3 hour wait. It’s the right length, the right cost and great for kids and adults. Great way to add to your NYC experience!

I went with family AND friends and we all had an amazing time!! It was my 2nd time going because I had been raving about it since the first time! We were celebrating our friend's birthday. The staff was super friendly and the attractions were very nice, too! Some things you can touch, others you can't (understandably). This was a wonderful experience and I CANNOT say enough about the ride at the end!! It was what I really came for. I was screaming my head clean off my neck because it looked so real! I am looking forward to my 3rd time!!

Even as a native New Yorker- learned things I didn’t know! Great mural and great experience.

This was a great experience! I went for a work/team event and it was a fun way to celebrate NYC. I forget how "cool" NY is and this reminded me of all the great things it has to offer and its amazing history. Definitely do the VIP access. We arrived at the same time as a school and without it, we would have had a long wait.

Great experience! Brought some out-of-towners and they loved learning about NY! Great photo ops and the ride at the end is amazing and well done.

My family had a blast! RiseNY is a must-visit attraction that offers an unparalleled way to experience NYC with its unique blend of immersive exhibits and experiences that combine historical education, cultural exploration, and thrilling simulation. It is the perfect attraction to deepen your appreciation for the Big Apple and whether you're a local or a visitor, you'll find new reasons to love this iconic city. The grand finale is exhilarating!

Walking into this immersive museum feels like stepping through New York's history, where interactive exhibits and passionate guides bring the city's past vividly to life. It's an experience that deeply connects you to the essence of New York, from its struggles to its triumphs. You leave not just informed, but inspired, carrying a piece of the city's indomitable spirit with you.

Virtual Tours of New York City

Understandably, it’s not possible to visit NYC right now, with the coronavirus (Covid-19) effectively shutting down most travel.

It’s a shame, as we know that some of you had to cancel your travel plans.

Let these resources transport you here and experience the Big Apple.

Experience VR, AR and digital art in NYC

These mind-blowing high-tech activities might just change the way you look at New York City

It’s easier than ever to lose yourself in a virtual world. But do all of those experiences have to be through a video game played from your couch? No! These of-the-moment VR, AR, digital-art activities, which span from Brooklyn to Central Park , will get you out of the house and exploring NYC. —Dan Morgridge

Been there, done that? Think again, my friend.

VR, AR and digital-art experiences in NYC

Take an architectural tour—on a quantum level.

Tucked away in an industrial basement under Chelsea Market, Turkish artist Refik Anadol’s large-format installation Machine Hallucination transforms more than 300 million open-source images of New York City’s past and present into a powerful algorithm. At its most basic, this marvel at Artechouse uncovers the buried connections between the city’s contemporary and historical architecture; at its most extreme, it uses our iconic skyline and landmarks to create new, shifting worlds that defy recognition. The result is a forward-thinking retrospective that renders a 16K-resolution, 150-megapixel version of NYC.

Chelsea ( artechouse.com/nyc ). $24.

Peruse virtual works of art

The High Line is getting high tech, people. That’s thanks to Art Has No Limits , which features a guided augmented-reality tour through Richard Humann’s and Shuli Sadé’s impressive virtual works that are scattered throughout the famed elevated park. The pieces were curated by AERY, an AR app for fine art that creates experiences for galleries.

Chelsea ( highlinenine.com ); free.

Pilot a plane through the sky

Hubneo has some pretty impressive technology on deck: The MSI VR One backpack boasts VR sans the cumbersome cord, plus oodles of thrills: The homemade flight simulator can pitch and roll up to 27 degrees. But its most intriguing offer may be the most mundane: The Virtual Reality Driving School delivers a stronger dose of adrenaline than maneuvering a tank or manning a spaceship: steering a car through Manhattan during rush hour.

As we investigate the best ways to experience an unforgettable virtual tour of NYC’s culinary heritage, grab your virtual fork and follow along! 

Pre-Trip Preparation: Gear Up for Gastronomic Greatness

Before you start your virtual adventure, perform a tech check to make sure your technology is up to the task. You’ll need a reliable internet connection, a usable device (laptop, tablet, or VR headset), and compatible software to get the most out of your adventure. 

Choosing a Platform Many platforms, including 360-degree videos and interactive maps, offer virtual tours. Popular options include Google Arts & Culture, online virtual museums, and specialized tour operators like YouVisit. Pick one that suits your preferences and discover the diverse culinary scene in NYC. If you are busy with your workload, wondering, “Who can Write My Essays for me quickly?” Make sure you hire professionals from grabmyessay writers to get you out of the mire.

Making an itinerary will help guide your virtual adventure and is similar to planning a trip in the real world. Choose the eateries, neighborhoods, and attractions you want to see. Think of the bustling markets in Queens, the famed pizzerias in Brooklyn, or the bagel shops in Manhattan. 

On the Virtual Road: Exploring NYC’s Culinary Hotspots

The sidewalks of New York City are lined with street vendors hawking tempting goods. Take a virtual stroll through the streets of the city to find a variety of options, from hot dogs to falafel. Discover the backgrounds and specialties of these vendors.

Virtually visit markets like Essex Street Market, Arthur Avenue Retail Market, and Chelsea Market. While taking in the chaos, learn about the history of these culinary landmarks. 

Post-Trip Delights: Making Memories Last

Virtual scrapbooking is the process of creating a digital scrapbook of your journey. By assembling the notes, images, and screenshots from your exploration, make a document with a pleasing appearance. When you want a taste of New York City, revisit it or share it with your friends. 

Make copies of New York City favorites at home to test your newly acquired skills. Invite your loved ones over to enjoy the dishes you tried out using the recipes you learned to make during your virtual field trip.

A black history (virtual) tour of new york city.

Welcome to the virtual tour of A People’s Guide to New York City ! Unlike traditional guidebooks that highlight the glitz, glamor, consumption, and spectacle of cities, often at the expense of people of color, immigrants, the working class, and LGBTQ communities, A People’s Guide to NYC offers an alternative perspective on the city— one that treats the life and landscape of the New York as the products of social power and its attendant struggles. 

Black history plays a prominent role in our book. From Sandy Ground, the oldest community established by free Black people in North America, to the Birthplace of Hip Hop in the Bronx, we celebrate the struggles, movements, and people who have confronted and continue to confront systemic racism.  

We are thrilled you can join us.

—Carolina Bank Muñoz, Penny Lewis, and Emily Molina, co-authors of A People’s Guide to New York City

Bronx — Birthplace of Hip Hop

1520 Sedgwick Avenue, Bronx, NY

On August 11, 1973, Cindy Campbell threw a party in the rec room of this apartment building. Her brother Clive (better known as DJ Kool Herc) hooked up the PA system he had been experimenting with to spin dancehall, soul, and funk for their one hundred guests, and what would come to be hip-hop culture was born.

DJ Kool Herc was born and grew up in Kingston, Jamaica, where he snuck out to watch the comings and goings at the local dances, too young to go in. He came to the Bronx at the age of twelve in 1967. Once the family settled in the Bronx, Herc’s father was an avid record collector, and his mother Nettie took him to house parties. When his father bought a PA system to serve as a soundman for a local R&B group, Herc tinkered with it until he made it operate at its peak. After throwing their first party with the newly optimized equipment, Cindy and Herc continued to throw monthly parties in the rec room with Herc spinning records, interspersing little rhymes and shout-outs in his echoing mic, Jamaican yard dance style. 

Eventually Herc moved the parties to nearby Cedar Park, where he, like the other DJs popping up all over the South Bronx, hooked his equipment up to the lampposts for power. Journalist Jeff Chang writes, “The moment when the dancers really got wild was in a song’s short instrumental break, when the band would drop out and the rhythm section would get elemental. Forget melody, chorus, songs—it was all about the groove, building it, keeping it going.  Like a string theorist, Herc zeroed in on the fundamental vibrating loop at the heart of the record, the break.” People came out to the park to hear Herc hone his Merry-Go Round technique, where by playing two copies of the same record he could keep the break going.

While Herc continued to spin in the West Bronx parks, Afrika Bambaataa was founding the Universal Zulu Nation, the “first hip-hop institution,” out of the Bronx River Houses; Grandmaster Flash was deejaying with the Furious Five; and Grand Wizzard Theodore was inventing scratching not far from Charlotte Street. Bronx youth, starved for the opportunity to learn to play instruments in their schools, listened to the radio and their parents’ records and invented a musical style using what they had—PA systems, microphones, records, and their speaking voices. Along with their fellow artists scribbling graffiti on the subway and dancing in the cypher, they birthed what continues to be one of the most significant cultural movements in the world.

Manhattan — Mabel Hampton’s Former Apt

120 W. 122nd Street, New York NY (demolished)

In the early-twentieth century, Harlem and Greenwich Village emerged as the two primary New York districts filled with gathering spaces for queer people, a group becoming more visible than ever before. Harlem emerged as the epicenter of Black queer culture, epitomized not only by the more well-known literary figures of the Harlem Renaissance but also “everyday” people who helped connect the community and lived boldly long before the modern gay rights movement. Mabel Hampton is such an “everyday” figure, whose apartment here during the 1920s and ’30s was home to parties hosted by Hampton and her neighbors for their female friends who also loved women—commonly known as “lady lovers” at the time.

In 1923, at the age of twenty, North Carolina–native Hampton moved into an apartment at this address after a friend who lived next door recommended it to her. Hampton was performing as a chorus girl at the Lafayette Theatre and the Garden of Joy in Harlem at the time, and many well-known performers attended the parties that she and her neighbors began to throw regularly. Hampton rubbed shoulders with many stars of her day, such as Broadway singer and actor Ethel Waters, blues recording artist Alberta Hunter, and Gladys Bentley, whose piano skills, sharp tuxedo, and dirty ditties kept crowds up all night in Harlem speakeasies during the Prohibition era. Sometimes Hampton and her friends would hold “pay parties” in her neighbors’ basement apartment where they would serve food, such as chicken and potato salad, and guests would pay to take part. This was somewhat akin to the “rent parties” Hampton and others attended in Harlem during Prohibition and the Great Depression, where apartment dwellers sought to ease the burden of their high rents through charging guests money for drinks, which would go toward their monthly rent bill. At these parties, many women arrived in skirts, worn for safety on the street, but took them off to reveal pants, which were still rarely worn in public by women. During a time in which Harlem was “in vogue” with white “slumming” elites who sought to loosen their regimented lives and embrace the “primitive” and “exotic” amid the local Black community, house parties like Mabel Hampton’s served as significant spaces for Black women who did not want to be objects of the white gaze. This site memorializes the important role women like Hampton played in creating and sustaining emerging Black queer networks in the early twentieth century that today serve as a legacy to the rich culture and community of “Gay Harlem.”

Queens — Storefront Museum

162–02 Liberty Avenue, Jamaica, NY

In 1971, the Store Front Museum opened its doors in Jamaica, Queens, with the intention of becoming an accessible center of culture rooted in Afrocentric philosophy. Established on a site designated for the eventual expansion of York College, the twelve-thousand-square-foot building was rented at a cost of five dollars a month. The museum hosted several major exhibitions and amassed a collection of art, books, photographs, and artifacts. It quickly expanded, opening the Paul Robeson Theatre and hosting Africa Festival, a two-day event on its outdoor mall that attracted thousands of visitors. The institution also organized workshops on Black ancestry and events for local businesses and professional organizations. The museum stood at this site for fifteen years before it was evicted by the City of New York.

The founding and short-lived success of the Store Front Museum was due in large part to founder Tom Lloyd, a Queens-born artist and social activist. From the late 1960s through the 1970s, Lloyd was part of the Art Workers’ Coalition (AWC) where he worked alongside contemporary artists such as Faith Ringgold, Jacob Lawrence, and Raphael Montañez Ortiz (who founded El Museo del Barrio in East Harlem). The group’s activism was aimed at making museums more democratic, and they staged several acts of protest at the Museum of Modern Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. In early 1969 the AWC made “13 Demands” of the MoMA, which included free admission, an area of the Museum dedicated to Black artists and under their direction, and, the third demand that “the Museum’s activities should be extended into the Black, Spanish and other communities. It should also encourage exhibits with which these groups

can identify.”

When the Store Front Museum closed after several attempts to relocate to a permanent home, Lloyd donated the entirety of the museum collection to the Queens Library in Jamaica, within walking distance of the museum’s former site.

Brooklyn — Ebinger Bakery Boycott

2207 Albemarle Road, Brooklyn, NY

This is the former site of one of the major truck depots of the Ebinger Baking Company, which opened its first store in Flatbush in 1898. It is also the site of a 1962 civil disobedience in protest of Ebinger’s discriminatory hiring practices. Ebinger was once a household name in New York City, famous for its German pastries and later for its Brooklyn Blackout cake, which has been adapted by scores of Brooklyn bakeries since. By the time of its closing in 1972 it was the largest retail bakery on the East Coast, with sixty-seven stores across Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, and Long Island. But Ebinger’s had a troubled history. In the 1930s, the bakery was accused of Nazi affiliation and of discrimination against Jews. By the 1950s most of its clientele was Jewish, though the bakery staff did not reflect this; as Brooklyn’s demographics shifted after World War II, the bakery’s clientele increasingly became Black and Puerto Rican, yet they were rarely hired. Some Black Americans worked as janitors or as low-level employees in the bakery division, but no Black or Puerto Rican women were hired as “Ebinger Girls” in the retail stores, or as high-level bakery staff or managers. As a result, the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE), along with Operation Unemployment, targeted the Ebinger Baking Company for their jobs campaign to combat urban employment discrimination. Their goal was to push Ebinger’s to hire more people of color in its retail stores, bakery, and truck depots.

This campaign established the Brooklyn Chapter of CORE as one of the one of the most radical in the country, even inspiring students at nearby Erasmus High School to form their own chapter. The campaign was defined by repeated betrayals on the part of Ebinger’s, and escalating tactics on the part of CORE. After an initial approach and negotiation, Ebinger agreed to hire six Black women in sales. The company then did nothing. At that point CORE moved to boycott Ebinger’s, hosting picket lines at key locations every Saturday, including at its first store at 1110 Flatbush Avenue. Though there were too many picket lines and too few volunteers, Ebinger was once again forced to negotiate. Again, the company agreed to hire African Americans. This time, they agreed that Black women would receive three of every five available positions for an indefinite period. Yet months passed and Ebinger’s did nothing to hire more Black and Puerto Rican workers. CORE once again had to escalate with more picket lines, this time with a petition from the community promising not to purchase Ebinger’s products until discriminatory practices changed. Despite this community pressure, the bakery still did not capitulate.

It was not until seven members of CORE went to Ebinger’s truck depot here and blocked morning deliveries on August 25, 1962, that Ebinger’s finally negotiated in earnest. But implementing the nondiscrimination policy proved to be much more difficult than anticipated. In the end, Ebinger’s was forced to hire more people of color, but the company still found ways to discriminate. It remained majority-white until it closed in 1972. At the time of this writing, the site is home to CubeSmart Self Storage, but if you look above the entrance, you will still see the building’s original name.

Staten Island — Sandy Ground

1538 Woodrow Road, Staten Island, NY

The community of Sandy Ground in southwestern Staten Island’s present-day Rossville neighborhood is the oldest community established by free Black people in North America, and

the oldest continuously settled free Black community in the United States. Known at other times as Harrisville and Little Africa, a 1963 fire destroyed much of the community, but the Sandy Ground Historical Society, museum, and library works to preserve materials related to the history of the community. The museum holds the largest collection of African American culture and history on Staten Island, provides educational tours and workshops, and raises money for archaeological work in the area.

Free Black people from Maryland’s eastern shore established the settlement of Sandy Ground—named for its poor-quality soil—in the mid-1820s. Fleeing laws that restricted the rights of free Black people in Maryland, around twenty families trekked to Staten Island. In February of 1828, Captain John Jackson was the first Black man to purchase land in Richmond County (now Staten Island.) The original community around the intersection of Bloomingdale and Woodrow Roads grew as freed and escaped enslaved people from Virginia and Delaware and Black families from New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut arrived. Many of these original settlers were skilled in oyster harvesting, a major component of Staten Island’s economy during the nineteenth century. Prince’s Bay, a prime site of oyster harvesting, was within walking distance of Sandy Ground. Other residents of Sandy Ground grew fruits and vegetables; still others were skilled blacksmiths.

Residents of Sandy Ground established the Zion African Methodist Episcopal Church (now the Rossville AME Zion Church) in 1850. One of four Black congregations on the island founded before 1900, nearby Rossville AME Zion Church still houses an active congregation. The church became an important meeting point for the community as the area became a significant stop on the Underground Railroad. Captain Jackson may also have used the ferry boat he owned to ferry people escaping slavery across the Kill van Kull from New Jersey to Staten Island. In addition to Sandy Ground, the Livingston area on Staten Island may have also housed stops on the Underground Railroad, as a group of prominent abolitionists lived there.

About 150 African Americans lived in Sandy Ground by 1880, and by 1900 it had about 200 residents from 50 families. But when the city banned oystering in the polluted harbor in 1916, an economic decline began in the community as many left the area, although some families did remain, finding other work. But a 1963 fire destroyed much of what remained of the old Sandy Ground community, and many of the remaining families who could not afford to rebuild moved away. At the same time, developers began to buy up large lots of land in the area.

Ten families descended from Sandy Ground’s original settlers still live in the community. While Sandy Ground was designated a state and historical landmark in 1974 and 1982, the community still contends with the infringement of development as the Sandy Ground Historical Society in particular works to uncover and preserve the community’s rich history.

About NYITCOM-Arkansas

New York Institute of Technology College of Osteopathic Medicine’s location on the Jonesboro campus of Arkansas State University (NYITCOM-Arkansas) is more than a medical school. We have a focused mission of training physicians to address the significant healthcare and health education needs in one of the most medically underserved regions of the country.

In addition to our  Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine, D.O. program , we also offer a  Master of Science in Biomedical Sciences degree  and a  Master of Public Health  degree on our Arkansas campus.

Welcome from Dean Speights

New York Institute of Technology College of Osteopathic Medicine (NYITCOM) on Long Island and NYITCOM-Arkansas, in Jonesboro, Ark., share the same  mission, vision, and outcomes . At both sites, faculty and staff members are committed to training osteopathic physicians for a lifetime of learning and practice, based upon the integration of evidence-based knowledge, critical thinking, and the tenets of osteopathic principles and practice.

In addition to our shared mission, NYITCOM-Arkansas is dedicated to improving access to healthcare for the underserved and rural populations in Arkansas and the Mississippi Delta Region. Arkansas ranks 48th in overall population health status due to low health indicators including obesity and the number of adults who smoke. The state also ranks 46th in the number of active physicians per capita, and 39th in the number of primary care physicians. It is our mission to meet the need for more physicians in this medically underserved area.

NYITCOM is accredited by the AOA Commission on Osteopathic College Accreditation (COCA) .

Take a Virtual Tour of Our Campus

A Unique Setting

Our presence on an undergraduate campus provides our medical students with many amenities not often found at medical schools. NYITCOM students have access to  on-campus housing , the  A-State Red WOLF fitness center , and convenient dining and refreshment options, including a full-service Starbucks just steps from NYITCOM’s Wilson Hall.  A-State’s Dean B. Ellis Library  is also a popular study location among NYITCOM students.

Training Physician Leaders

Graduating great physicians who practice excellent medicine is an expectation. However, that’s not enough. We believe it is a privilege to be a physician, and with great privilege comes great responsibility. NYITCOM emphasizes servant leadership, and our student doctors are actively involved in a number of community-based programs aimed at benefitting those in the state and region while showing our medical students the unique opportunities that exist to make a tremendous impact in a special part of the country.

NYITCOM is not just another medical school. Our faculty, staff, and students see ourselves as change agents for generations in a part of the nation with needs unlike any other. It’s personal, and we believe there is no greater calling. We invite you to be a part of the exciting things happening in Arkansas and the Delta.

Meet Our Jonesboro Students

• NYITCOM-Arkansas is among the first medical schools in the United States to train first-year students to deliver care via telemedicine (the use of telecommunication and information technology to provide clinical healthcare from a distance).
• Each student must complete a four-week rotation in a rural area.
• The majority of third- and fourth-year rotations will occur in community hospitals, including NEA Baptist Memorial Hospital and St. Bernard’s Medical Center.
• In addition to a medical degree, every graduate from NYITCOM-Arkansas earns a Certificate in Population Health . Students also have the opportunity to obtain certificates in Telemedicine, Health IT, Evidence-based Medicine, or Global Health.
• Students can also apply for the Academic Medicine Scholars Program, in which they earn an additional Master of Science in Academic Medicine. These select second-year NYITCOM-Arkansas students are given faculty mentorship while spending an extra year gaining valuable research and teaching experience.
• Students also have the opportunity to gain valuable clinical training in a future mobile medical clinic known as the  Delta Care-a-van . The mobile clinic travels to areas of northeast Arkansas and offers preventative care services and health education, under the guidance of NYITCOM-Arkansas faculty and trained medical experts, to underserved and rural populations.

New York Tech College of Osteopathic Medicine traces its roots to the 1970s and W. Kenneth Riland, D.O., and a group of visionary osteopathic physicians.  Read more .

In 2012, A-State approached New York Institute of Technology with the idea of establishing an NYITCOM program at the A-State campus aimed at producing physicians in generalist specialties (family medicine, internal medicine, pediatrics, general surgery, emergency medicine, and obstetrics/gynecology), who would practice in the medically underserved areas of Arkansas and the Mississippi Delta region. NYITCOM developed the partnership as part of its overarching vision to advance patient-centered, population-based osteopathic healthcare through transformative education and illuminating research.

In August 2016, NYITCOM-Arkansas welcomed its inaugural class of 115 medical students. Housed in the 86,000 square-foot Wilson Hall, facilities include a state-of-the-art anatomy lab, team-based teaching labs, an auditorium, an osteopathic manipulative lab, a medical library, a student lounge, simulation labs, and classrooms outfitted with technology for in-person and two-way live streaming of lectures between the Arkansas and New York campuses.

NYITCOM-Arkansas has enjoyed a 100 percent post-graduate placement rate, with 70 percent of its graduates pursuing primary care specialties (Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, General Surgery, and Psychiatry). Additionally, Arkansas campus alumni have been very successful in competitive specialties with several graduates matching into Anesthesiology, Ophthalmology, Orthopedic Surgery, Radiology, Urology, Neurology, Obstetrics/Gynecology, Emergency Medicine, and Dermatology.

The New York campus is accredited for 295 students per year, while the Arkansas campus is accredited for 115 students annually.

Start your journey to improving health outcomes in the Mississippi Delta or wherever you feel called at NYITCOM-Arkansas. You’ll become more than just a well-trained physician. You’ll become an agent of change.
