STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK

The first still-active institution of the State University of New York was officially founded at Potsdam in 1816. By 1862, the Morrill Act set the stage for the four Ivy League land-grant SUNY colleges that now exist at Cornell University. The actual SUNY system did not come together until February 1948 when New York was the last of the then 48 states to establish an official state university. At this time, SUNY consisted of a consolidation of 29 unaffiliated institutions with 11 of them functioning as teachers’ colleges. All of these colleges had unique histories and a common goal to serve New York state. Since then, SUNY has grown to include 64 academic institutions that had formerly been independent institutions or were directly founded by the State University of New York.

SUNY institutions include everything from world-renowned community colleges to first-rate graduate schools that include the nation’s top veterinary school. The System’s highly regarded doctoral degree granting universities boast top research programs and attract experts in a variety of fields. SUNY has expanded to include more than 418,000 students enrolled in 6,688 programs of study. The scope of SUNY continues to increase.

Today, extensive study abroad opportunities exist, and majors range from childhood education to biomedical engineering. International students from over 160 countries attend a SUNY school.

SUNY has also created the SUNY Learning Network, one of the nation’s largest distance learning programs which provides educational opportunities to more than 70,000 students through 4,000 courses and offers sixty degree and certificate programs.

The State University motto is: “To Learn-To Search-To Serve.”
