SUNY Oneonta: Rankings, Courses & Admissions

From its humble beginning as the Oneonta Normal School in 1889, these three values have been woven through the fabric of the institution. They’ve defined who we are and what sets us apart. They’ve given us purpose. Together with the mission, these values now guide SUNY Oneonta’s pursuit of a clear vision:

SUNY Oneonta will challenge the status quo, test assumptions, and ask difficult questions about relevancy and impact. The university must understand the needs of today’s learners and tomorrow’s. Our campus and all of the opportunities it can offer should revolve around students and evolve with them. As they trust us to guide them to their goals, we entrust them with the future and the hope of a more just, humane and happier world.
