School Details
SUNY Polytechnic Institute (SUNY Poly) is New York’s globally recognized, high-tech educational ecosystem, formed from the merger of the SUNY College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering and SUNY Institute of Technology. SUNY Poly was officially formed in 2014 when the State University of New York Board of Trustees unanimously approved SUNY Chancellor Nancy L. Zimpher’s recommendation to merge the SUNY College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering (CNSE) in Albany and the SUNY Institute of Technology (SUNYIT) in Utica. The transformative merger was the product of Governor Andrew M. Cuomo’s pioneering vision and leadership to create an entity rooted in academia and capable of driving significant and sustained industrial and economic growth across the State of New York. Today, Suny Poly is “…a premier polytechnic institution dedicated to improving society by advancing knowledge—and its application—and promoting entrepreneurship and economic development.”
SUNY Poly offers undergraduate and graduate degrees in the emerging disciplines of nanoscience and nanoengineering, as well as cutting-edge nano bioscience and nanoeconomics programs. It also offers degrees in technology, professional studies, and the arts and sciences. SUNY Poly online degrees are available at the undergraduate and graduate levels as well. All degrees at SUNY Poly, including online degrees, offer many of the benefits found at small, private institutions but with more affordable tuition. These include small class sizes, individualized learning experiences, and access to expert faculty.
