State University of New York
North Country Community College is a member of the State University of New York, the largest centrally managed, multi-level system of public education n the nation.
Since its founding in 1948, through consolidation of 29 State-supported but unaffiliated campuses, the University has grown in response to need until its services are now felt educationally, physically, and culturally the length and breadth of New York State. The University's geographically dispersed campuses bring educational opportunity within commuting distance of virtually all New York citizens. In many communities, the SUNY campuses are cultural centers of the area and significant contributors to the local economies. http://www.suny.edu
Over one million students are studying in its classrooms or pursuing study at home, at their own pace, through such innovative institutions as Empire State College, a campus without walls. Many students are 24 years of age or older, reflecting SUNY's ability to adjust to meet the needs of more mature students.
During its relatively brief existence, the University has graduated over one million alumni, the majority of whom are pursuing their careers in villages, towns, and cities across the state.
To provide such opportunity on a continuing basis, the University is uniquely organized into a system consisting of:
Four university centers, two medical centers, thirteen colleges of arts and science, a non-residential college, four specialized colleges, six agricultural and technical colleges, two statutory colleges administered in cooperation with Cornell and Alfred Universities, and 30 locally-sponsored community colleges.

The Educational Opportunity Centers serve the educationally deprived by upgrading occupational skills for more gainful employment and identifying students with college potential to prepare them for enrollment in the state's public and private colleges. Overall, at its EOC's, two-year colleges, four-year campuses, and university and medical centers, the University offers 3,500 academic programs.
