The State University of New York’s 64 geographically dispersed campuses bring educational opportunity within commuting distance of virtually all New Yorkers and comprise the nation’s largest comprehensive system of public higher education.

The State University of New York’s 64 campuses are divided into four categories, based on educational mission, the kinds of academic opportunities available, and degrees offered. They are: Community Colleges, Technology Colleges, Comprehensive Colleges, Research & University Centers.

SUNY offers students a wide diversity of educational options: short-term vocational/technical courses, certificate programs, associate degree programs, baccalaureate degree programs, graduate degrees and post-doctoral studies. SUNY provides access to almost every field of academic or professional study somewhere within the system—over 7,000 degree and certificate programs overall.

SUNY students represent the society that surrounds them. In May 2012, 24.4% of all enrolled students were minorities. With a total enrollment of more than 467,000, students are pursuing traditional study in classrooms and laboratories or are working at home, at their own pace, through such innovative institutions as the SUNY Learning Network, which provides educational opportunities for an estimated 150,000 students..

Students attending a SUNY campus are predominantly New York State residents, representing every one of the state’s 62 counties. SUNY students also come from every other state in the United States, the District of Columbia, four U.S. territories, and 160 nations.

SUNY alumni number over  2.7 million graduates on its rolls. The majority of the University’s alumni reside and pursue careers in communities across New York State, contributing to the economic and social vitality of New York State.
