School Notes
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 seven majors
leading to bachelor degrees, 23 programs leading to associate
degrees, and 12 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.
