GENERAL COLLEGE INFORMATION

General College Information
THE COLLEGE
Alfred State SUNY College of Technology is in Alfred, NY, a vibrant community with a permanent population
of approximately 1,500 residents and nearly 5,000-6,000 students enrolled in three colleges. It is 15
miles north of the Pennsylvania border, 70 miles south of Rochester, and 90 miles southeast of Buffalo.
Alfred State had its beginning as a state school of agriculture in 1908 when it was created by an act of
the state legislature. An important milestone in the history of the college occurred in 1948 when it was
incorporated into the newly organized State University of New York (SUNY) system.
In 1951 the college was authorized by SUNY to award the degree of Associate in Applied Science. The
Associate in Arts and the Associate in Science degrees were authorized in 1967, and the Associate in
Occupational Studies was approved in 1973. Bachelor degrees were added to the college’s offerings in
1991.
The college enrolls approximately 3,500 full-time students annually. There are some 275 teaching
faculty and professional staff supporting the college’s more than 70 programs in agricultural, allied
health, business, and engineering technologies, plus liberal arts and sciences, and 16 programs in
applied technology. The college’s programs are registered by the New York State Education Department
and have been approved by the NYS Education Department for the training of veterans. The State
Education Department can be contacted by writing or calling: NYS Education Department, Office of
Higher Education and the Professions, Cultural Education Center, Room 5B28, Albany, NY 12230; 518-
474-5851. The college is accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education [3624
Market St., Philadelphia, PA 19104, 215-662-5606].

COLLEGE VISION
Alfred State will be nationally recognized as the college of choice for students seeking a
technology-focused education and the preferred college for employers seeking graduates prepared to "hit
the ground running..."

COLLEGE MISSION
Alfred State, a residential college of technology, provides career-focused education enriched by the liberal
arts to produce job- and transfer-ready graduates.

PRINCIPLES OF COMMUNITY
As members of Alfred State, we choose to be part of an academic community dedicated to those principles
that foster personal and professional integrity, civility, and tolerance.
We strive toward lives of personal integrity and academic excellence – We will encourage in
ourselves, and in one another, those responsible actions which lead to lives of productive work, personal
enrichment, and useful citizenship in an increasingly interdependent world.
We commit to treat one another with civility – Recognizing that there will be differences of opinion, we
will explore these differences in a courteous and forthright manner, always acknowledging individual
rights to freedom of expression and association.
We support tolerance – We encourage those of all cultures, orientations, and backgrounds to
understand and respect one another in a safe and supportive educational environment.
This set of principles set forth by the college is supported by policies including the Codes of Student
Conduct and Academic Integrity.

SUNY’s 64 geographically dispersed campuses bring educational opportunity within commuting distance
of virtually all New York citizens and comprise the nation’s largest, centrally managed system of public
higher education.

GENERAL COLLEGE INFORMATION

Nearly 400,000 students are pursuing traditional study in classrooms or are working at home, at their
own pace, utilizing distance education. SUNY is governed by a board of trustees, appointed by the
governor, which directly determines the policies to be followed by the state-operated campuses.

DEGREES AND ACCREDITATIONS
I. Degrees Granted by New York State Department of Education.
Authorization is granted by the Division of Higher Education of the NYS Department of Education to
confer the degree of Associate in Applied Science (AAS), Associate in Science (AS), and Associate in Arts
(AA). Section 5 of the Commissioner of Education’s Regulations, Paragraph 7, reads as follows:
“Courses of Study. The course of study shall cover two years of standard college work, and shall be so
organized and conducted and shall be of such scope and content as to warrant acceptance with full
credit upon advanced standing by degree-conferring institutions. Such terminal courses as it offers shall
be distinctly of collegiate grade. All courses of study shall contain the subject matter implied by the
announced objectives of the institution.”
Authorization is also granted by the Division of Higher Education to confer the degree of Bachelor of
Science (BS) in engineering technology, the degree of Bachelor of Technology (BTech), and the degree of
Bachelor in Business Administration (BBA).
Authorization is also granted by the Division of Higher Education to confer the degree of Associate in
Occupational Studies (AOS) under Section 52.2 of the Regulations of the Commissioner of Education
(Chapter II of Title 8 of the Official Compilation of Codes, Rules, and Regulations of the State of New
York).
State University criteria state that “a course of study leading to the AOS degree should be an organized
post-secondary lower-division program leading to occupational competence. It should have a distinct
identity, independent of established associate in applied science degree or certificate offered by an
institution. The program must require a minimum of 60 semester credit hours or the equivalent of
completion and may consist solely of specialized course work and related subjects.”
