About the University

SUNY Oneonta is a mid-size, public college rooted in scholarship across the liberal arts and sciences. We prepare students for successful careers and the pursuit of advanced degrees.

As a member of the State University of New York, our small classes, opportunities for undergraduate research, and student/faculty interaction are as attractive as our cost.

Nestled in the hills of Central New York, the college’s idyllic setting is ideal for study, adventure and self-discovery. Just “up the hill” from the charming City of Oneonta, our campus blends community and academe to engage, nurture, and inspire.

Initially established in 1889 as a state normal school, Oneonta has become a premier school of the SUNY system. Our strong alumni network spans the globe, demonstrating the leadership and accomplishment that exemplify an Oneonta education.

With a population of just under 14,000 people, Oneonta is a safe, friendly community known for its small-town ambiance and vibrant arts and entertainment scene.

SUNY Oneonta has been included in the BestColleges.com list of America’s “Best Small Town Colleges” for two years running and ranked No. 14 on the Matador Network’s 2015 list of the “20 Coolest Towns in the U.S.

The city of Oneonta’s “just-right” size makes it a great place for a college campus. Within easy walking distance of campus is Oneonta’s downtown business district, which features coffee shops, pizzerias, ethnic cuisine, consignment stores and a variety of locally owned specialty shops offering everything from shoes to kitchen gadgets. The Main Street Plaza is home to the Oneonta Farmers’ Market, which offers seasonal products year-round.
