Founded in 1826, SUNY Fredonia
combines classic liberal arts with
contemporary academic innovations
and a distinctive “college-town”
feel. It’s small enough to provide
personalized attention from world-class,
world educated faculty, yet large
enough to offer 80 undergraduate
programs in the arts, humanities, and
the natural and social sciences, as
well as professional programs, and
master’s and advanced certificate
programs in many areas. Faculty
and professional staff provide a high
quality educational experience through
classroom teaching and performance
and research opportunities.
