Description
A high quality, respected college on par with a private school (but at the cost of a public school) is what makes SUNY Oswego a great choice for residents of upstate New York and the Northeast in general.
Situated alongside a lake in the rural town of Oswego, New York, SUNY Oswego’s environment offers natural beauty and, with its numerous buildings that stretch across hundreds of acres, a spacious campus.
At the graduate and undergraduate levels, SUNY Oswego boasts top-notch faculty, a number of whom are Fulbright scholars, published writers and award-winning researchers.
In addition to learning from such exceptional faculty, many students also engage in research, another academic advantage of a SUNY Oswego education.
Degrees at SUNY Oswego are granted through distinctive schools including the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, the School of Business, a School of Education and a school for Fine and Performing Arts.
Student life is equally impressive, offering over 100 academic, cultural, religious, community service and media-related student organizations.
For freshman applicants who have been out of high school for fewer than three years, SAT or ACT scores are required. Additional requirements for all students include a high school diploma or GED as well as transcripts.
Tuition is lower for in-state residents and financial aid options are available.
