7. SUNY BROOME IS THE ONLY WAY
A dynamic presence in the State University of New York (SUNY) system, SUNY
Broome’s history, degree opportunities, exceptional faculty and staff, rich campus
life and dedication to learning, excellence, equity, diversity and innovation, have
established the College as a preeminent school recognized both nationally and
globally.
SUNY Broome traces its roots back to the end of World War II, when veterans began
returning home and sought greater educational opportunities. In 1946, the state
legislature agreed to establish five institutes of arts and sciences – in Binghamton,
Buffalo, Utica, White Plans and New York City – for an experimental five-year
period.
