Morrisville State College

From Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

The State University of New York at Morrisville, also known as Morrisville State College or MSC, offers 18 bachelor degrees and a wide variety of associate degrees at two campuses in Central New York: Morrisville and Norwich. Programs are offered in Agricultural Sciences and Manangement, Animal and Equine Science, Computer Information Technology and many more.

Campus layout

The Morrisville campus includes over 50 buildings spread across an area adjacent to US 20.

This includes 11 residence halls, split into 4 different locations:

  • The "Indian Quad" includes Cayuga, Mohawk, Onondaga, and Oneida halls, and is located in the center of campus.
  • The "Pond Quad" includes Helyar, Fountainview, Stewart, South, and West halls, and is located on the east side of campus. It is named for the Helyar Pond, which is overlooked by the dorms.
  • East Hall, a quiet dorm that consists of small suites of rooms, is located in the northeast corner of the campus.
  • The Morrisville Commons, a suite-style dorm built in 2006, is on the far south end of campus. The Commons is owned by the Morrisville Auxiliary Corporation, rather than Morrisvile State College itself. In the Fall 2007 semester, The commons underwent management changes, and by the Fall 2008 semester was fully a part of Morrisville State College Residence life. Because the Commons is not owned by the college, alcohol is allowed in small quantities, and this is the only thing that separates The Commons from the rest of the dorms. A second Commons is currently being constructed next to the existing one.

The academic buildings are spread out across the entire campus. The major buildings include:

  • Charlton Hall, which primarily houses the School of Business.
  • Galbreath Hall, used mostly by the School of Science and Technology.
  • Marshall Hall, home to the School of Agriculture.
  • Crawford Hall, containing most of the large lecture halls on campus and the School of Liberal Arts.
