Overview

Institution Type: University
Control Type: Public

SUNY Oneonta is a public college in the State University of New York system, set in the small city of Oneonta in upstate New York.

Its undergraduate curriculum covers 58 majors that mix liberal arts subjects with pre-professional fields, and a graduate catalogue of 15 programs concentrates on education, biology, museum studies and nutrition, with several delivered fully online. Courses are organised through four academic units: Education, Human Ecology, and Sports Studies; Liberal Arts and Business; Sciences; and Graduate Studies.

Teaching is kept personal, with an average class size of 21 and a student-to-faculty ratio of 15 to 1. The college promises every undergraduate at least one hands-on learning opportunity, whether an internship, community service, a research or creative project, a leadership role or study abroad.

Campus resources include a digital planetarium, an observatory, a high-definition television studio, theatres, music recording studios and art galleries, and three of the largest academic buildings have been renovated.

Support services for first-generation and migrant students run through the Access and Opportunity Programs, and the college offers career planning services to current students and alumni. Students who want to try courses before committing can enrol in non-degree study, and degree partnerships with other institutions widen the pathways available.
