Welcome, Red Dragons!

ACADEMICS

Whether you know what you want to study—or you’re ready to explore and find out—Oneonta has plenty of options and lots of support to help you succeed.

With our focus on hands-on learning, some of your most valuable experiences will happen outside the classroom. From research with a faculty member, to service-learning activities, internships and field courses, you’ll get lots of opportunities to apply what you’ve learned in real-world settings.

Important Dates

Transfer students: Your preset fall course schedule will be ready on a rolling basis through June 30, and you’ll have the chance to finalize it on your own or sign up for an advisement appointment July 5-July 18.
