Broad Function

SUNY Adirondack is a teaching- and learning-centered community college, which fosters a diverse and equitable learning environment for students of all ages, backgrounds, goals, and learning styles. A member of the State University of New York, located in the foothills of the Adirondack Mountains, one hour north of Albany and thirty minutes from Saratoga Springs. A bachelor's degree is attainable on our Queensbury campus through our SUNY Plattsburgh extension center and, beginning in Spring 2025, on our Saratoga campus through a partnership with SUNY Cobleskill. While many of our students are first-generation college educated and from rural areas in upstate New York, we are excited by the influx of students from downstate and out of state who can live in our 400-bed residence hall.

With interactive classroom instruction and one-on-one guidance outside of class, our faculty and staff are committed to personal and public transformation through education, with an emphasis on critical and creative thinking. With a population of 23 percent returning adults and 15 percent people of color, SUNY Adirondack maintains a deep commitment to diversity and inclusion and to the welfare of its growing multicultural student body.
