School Notes
School Mascot: Kangaroo
The State University of New York at Canton is a public,
coeducational, residential college located on a spacious campus
along the banks of the Grasse River. Its northern location places
SUNY Canton close to the Adirondack Mountains, the St. Lawrence
River, and major Canadian cities such as Ottawa and Montreal.
Originally founded in 1906 as the School of Agriculture (SOA) at
St. Lawrence University, SUNY Canton was the first postsecondary,
two-year college in New York authorized by the Legislature. In
1941, SOA was renamed the New York State Agricultural and Technical
Institute (ATI). ATI became a member college of the State
University of New York in 1948. To recognize advanced technology
programs added in the 1950's and '60's, the college underwent
another name change in 1965, this time becoming the State
University of New York Agricultural and Technical College at
Canton, or ATC. In 1987, the University's Board of Trustees
authorized yet another name change -- to the college's present
designation as State University of New York College of Technology
at Canton. SUNY Canton cultivates the minds of tomorrow as Northern
New York's two and four-year college for technology, health,
management and public service. SUNY Canton offers 30 majors leading
to bachelor degrees, 20 programs leading to associate degrees, and
2 programs leading to one-year certificates. Numerous articulation
agreements with other institutions provide for other opportunities
in fields such as business administration, forestry and medicine.
Graduates of two-year programs may either stay and continue on in
one of the bachelor degree programs, transfer to another
institution, or begin their career immediately. Academic facilities
include eight classroom buildings, containing many specialized labs
for practice in technology-based disciplines; Southworth Library,
which houses more than 65,000 volumes, 6,000 microfilms, 300
periodical subscriptions and 1,500 video and audio recordings, and
access to more than 25 electronic information research databases.
The State University of New York at Canton is accredited by the
Middle States Commission on Higher Education.
