Discover SUNY

Diverse Invest

• SUNY is the nation’s largest comprehensive system of public higher education. Our 64 individual campuses include a vast array of institutional types and diverse missions with a common goal—to learn, to search, to serve. We provide learning environments for every type of student, every stage of life, and every kind of passion. You’ll find a SUNY presence in all New York counties and within 30 miles of every New Yorker.

• A SUNY education is an investment in your future. College may be expensive, but not as costly to you as not getting a college education! Unlike most purchases, a college education appreciates in value instead of depreciating. The income differential empowers you to make choices that enrich your life. Studies show that, compared to highschool graduates, college graduates earn higher wages, have lower unemployment rates, and have greater life expectancies. • SUNY campuses have launched the futures of 2.8 million alumni. They include CEOs, inventors, scientists, policy makers, teachers, nurses, artists, athletes, performers and trailblazers who make a difference in their communities. Our graduates are found in every state in the nation and in many foreign nations worldwide.

Success Connect

• Although no two SUNY campuses are alike, they are all part of a single system. As a result, you can explore affordably and move seamlessly among campuses as credits are transferable between our institutions. In addition, systemwide transfer paths and campus-to-campus articulation agreements facilitate transferability. There are many pathways to a college degree and SUNY supports your journey with people and programs focused on your transfer success.

Outcomes Value

• Our students experience successful educational outcomes. They graduate at a rate higher than the national average for public universities. And systemwide retention rates, which result in higher graduation rates, are steadily increasing and outpace the rates at most public colleges nationally. Access and degree completion are our priorities.

• SUNY is a great value! Our in-state and out-of-state tuition is among the lowest in the nation, and our campuses are regularly recognized for their academic programs and affordable price. SUNY campuses have been named outstanding in a variety of categories including America’s Best Colleges, Most Selective Public Universities in Nation, Top 50 Public National Universities and Top Value National Universities. SUNY campuses are also included among the top 25 best values for out-of-state applicants. • Each of our campuses is focused on academic excellence. At the heart of it all is the student experience. SUNY students engage in undergraduate research, study abroad and honors programs. They enroll in interdisciplinary and pre-professional programs and pursue internships and accelerated and combined degrees. And, they learn from worldrenowned professors, researchers, Nobel Laureates, Pulitzer-Prize winners and Emmy, Tony and Grammy award recipients and outstanding faculty who are leaders in their fields.
