Comprehensive Education: University Colleges provide bachelor’s and master’s degrees in liberal arts and sciences and professional disciplines, but their priority is undergraduate instruction. Students work closely with faculty and have opportunities to gain widespread knowledge that leaves them with the option to enter the workforce or to continue their education and work towards a master’s degree.

Discover Smart Track
Resident Student
Commuting Student
“ . . . SUNY Smart Track™ gives our prospective students the most comprehensive and transparent financial aid information available . . . to make informed decisions about how to pay for their college education . . . and view a full outline of the financial commitment associated with their education.”
- SUNY Chancellor Nancy L. Zimpher
The SUNY Smart Track™ Award Letter was developed by a committee of campus Financial Aid Directors, and others, who were tasked with adopting the intent of the federal Financial Aid Shopping Sheet while creating a unique version for SUNY. SUNY is the first and largest public system of higher education nationally to implement such a tool for students and families.
This new award letter will permit students and their families to see clearly the cost of attendance and financial aid offerings at each campus, including campus-specific information such as graduation rate, median borrowing, and loan default rate.

Discover Summer Enrichment
Opportunities for students to discover SUNY!
Spring is in the air . . . trees are budding, flowers are blooming and, like Mother Nature, your motivated students are growing too! The summer months are a great way for students to explore and learn by participating in summer enrichment programs.
Summer programs at SUNY are as diverse as the campuses. Day and residential camps enable students to maneuver their way across the waterways of historic Fort Schuyler, receive portfolio advice from fashion experts, design a stage in a play, perform with a jazz ensemble, explore pre-requisite science courses for health professions, expand their love of robotics, and perfect athletic skills.
Deadlines are approaching soon. Discover some of SUNY’s amazing opportunities to whet your student’s appetite.
