Undergraduate
SUNY Oneonta welcomes a freshman class of over 1,000 students each year. We look for well-rounded applicants who show the potential to succeed academically and the desire to get involved in our campus community.
Whether you’re transferring from a small community college or a large university, Oneonta is a great place to continue your academic journey. In fact, 20% of our full-time students began their studies at Oneonta as transfers.
SUNY Oneonta is located in New York State, a four-hour drive from New York City. International students are eligible for the New York State Advantage Award, a renewable scholarship of $8,000 per year for four years.
We understand that sometimes, circumstances intervene and students leave college without finishing their degree.
