Oneonta: A great place to continue your academic journey
SUNY Oneonta is a mid-sized four-year public university that offers small classes, loads of activities, opportunities for undergraduate research, student-faculty interaction, and an attractive cost of attendance. Caring is our longest-standing tradition—traced all the way back to the school’s founding in the late 1800s. Today, the University's growing alumni network spans the globe, advancing the values of inclusivity, service, and sustainability that exemplify SUNY Oneonta.
Why Oneonta?
Students choose Oneonta for lots of reasons: our welcoming campus, the “just-right” size of our community, the idyllic setting neighboring the city of Oneonta. But what sets us apart most is our focus, day in and day out, on exceptional living and learning opportunities. Our curriculum is flexible, diverse, and challenging, with resources to match all kinds of interests. And we’re committed outside the classroom to offering a wide range of options for socializing, entertainment, and engagement. It's easy to be happy here!

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, 30% of our full-time students began their studies here as transfers. SUNY Oneonta strives to enroll an academically qualified and diverse student body. All applications are individually reviewed based on a variety of criteria, including:
• A competitive and challenging academic program with courses related to your intended major
• A minimum cumulative 2.5 GPA (Education majors must have a 3.0 or greater)
• A required performance audition for students looking to join the Music program
• An art portfolio for students looking to join the Art & Design (BFA) program
Transfer students aren't required to live on campus, but those who do must complete two semesters of on-campus living. Some transfers can choose a Transfer Living Community that features mentoring and special programs.
