Strength in academics

Two trademarks of the University’s Undergraduate Research Council are dedicated faculty mentors and opportunities to earn funding in any discipline.
Building for the future
Our campus has transformed in recent years with more than $350 million in construction efforts to bring a one-of-a-kind recreation center, an award-winning residence hall, and new academic spaces, including a renovated science facility.
Opportunity outside the classroom
SUNY Cortland offers more than 50 study abroad programs and nearly 80 active student clubs. The University is also home to a powerhouse NCAA Division III athletics program with 131 national titles.
