32 > UNIVERSITY COLLEGES Housing Approximately half of SUNY Potsdam’s students live in a variety of residence accommodations. Once students deposit, they may express their residential preference and roommate assignments. New students are required to live on campus for the first two years unless they are 21 or older, live with their parents, are married and living with their spouse, have served one or more years in the armed forces, or have previously lived in a college residence hall for one year. Academic achievement and personal development are the objectives of the residence hall program. Campus living provides: convenient access to buildings, facilities, support staff and services; a wide vari ety of building types and special housing programs; state-of-the-art technology in all rooms (i.e. cable TV, Campus Movie Channel and Internet access); and guaranteed housing for new and upperdivision students. Housing choices include: singles, doubles, suites, apartments and townhouses. The 224-bed townhouse complex features 10 two-story buildings located between the Maxcy Hall Athletic Complex and Knowles Hall. These independent units, which have a kitchen, bathroom, dining area, living room and four to five single bedrooms, are available to upper-division students. Athletics Students have the opportunity to become part of the varsity athletic teams, which compete at the NCAA Division III level, or join one of the more than 11 intra mural and recreation sports at SUNY Potsdam. There are intercollegiate teams in men’s basketball, cross country, golf, ice hockey, lacrosse, soccer and swimming and diving; and in women’s basketball, cross country, ice hockey, equestrian, lacrosse, soccer, softball, swimming and diving, and volleyball. Cheerleading also is offered for both women and men.

It reflects our tradition of fostering educational creativity in a climate of intellectual and artistic freedom, as well as our commitment to embracing innovative teaching and learning environments. Purchase College offers a unique education that combines programs in the liberal arts with conservatory programs in the arts in a way that emphasizes inquiry, mastery of skills, and creativity. Our students benefit from the rare opportunity of entering into apprentice relationships with artists, scholars, scientists, and performers who are making significant contributions to their fields. Students devel op personal and intellectual confidence as they complete substantial independent scholarly projects, creative endeavors, or performances as the culmination of their academic experiences. The facilities, particularly in the natural sciences and performing arts, are outstanding. Modern build - ings, designed by notable architects, create a stunning visual contrast to the mature woods, stone walls, and a running brook that are reminders of the former 500-acre farm on which the campus was founded. Each of the liberal arts and arts divisions have their own dedicated facilities, around a library, the Performing Arts Center of four theaters (the largest performing arts complex between New York City and Toronto), and the Neuberger Art Museum. In addition, there are two student centers and a modern gymnasium, complete with swimming pool, three basketball courts, and facilities for aerobic exer cise, weight training, squash, tennis, paddleball, and handball. Located in Westchester County, just 25 miles north of Manhattan, the campus combines rural scenery, suburban convenience, and proximity to the city. The college is undertaking over $120 million in construction projects that will enhance the overall appearance of the college, improve the quality of life for students, and support initiatives toward climate neutrality. Student Life Among student organizations are the campus news paper, video club, programming committee for concerts and films, food co-op, and general store. Campus clubs include an International Student Organization, Women’s Union, Black Students’ Organi zation, and academic interest groups. Other groups pursue inter ests in crafts, computers, music, theater, and politics. The college’s programs in the arts offer performances in dance, music, theater, and art exhibitions. There is also an extensive professional repertory in the performing arts, a lecture series, and an international film series. The Division III Purchase Panthers compete regionally and regu - larly host games on campus in a variety of men’s and women’s athletic teams, including basketball, volleyball, baseball, golf, softball, tennis and swimming. The Panthers are currently developing lacrosse teams as well. We also have a generous helping of intra mural team sports. Career Services The Office of Career Development provides personalized and comprehensive career-related services and programs that empower Purchase College students throughout their college years. Students may participate in workshops and individual counseling to develop interviewing and job search skills and to identify employment, internship, and graduate studies opportunities. To Visit the Campus The best way to get to know us is to spend time on the Purchase College campus. There are several visit options including: >Campus Tours—Offered year round, these comprehensive tours include classroom buildings, residence halls, dining facilities, the library and more! >Information Sessions—Conducted by an admissions representative during the fall and spring semesters, these 50 minute sessions geared towards prospective applicants for freshman admission, provide an overview of our academic programs, admis sions requirements and application process.

We look forward to seeing you on campus! Admission Requirements Liberal Arts and Science admissions are highly selective. An applicant to Purchase is expected to be a highly motivated, conscientious and academically strong student with a consistent record of achieve-
UNIVERSITY COLLEGES < 33 ment in a challenging high school curriculum. Generally, successful applicants have earned a minimum high school GPA of 3.0 and a combined Critical Reading and Math SAT score of 1100 or better (ACT score of 24 or better). While the majority of freshmen satisfy the usual academic admissions criteria—quality of high school program (i.e., courses taken), high school average, SAT or ACT scores, and rank in class—appli cants are encouraged to include information on interests and other factors to be considered in an individual review of their applications. Applicants admitted to the College should identify a program of study at the time of application. Liberal Arts and Science applicants may indicate an undeclared major; however, they must select a specific major by the end of their sophomore year. For applicants to programs in the School of the Arts, selection is highly competitive and is based primarily upon the talent and achievement of each candidate, as demonstrated by an audition, port folio, or interview. However, academics are also considered in the final decision, as all students are required to complete a core Liberal Arts and Sciences program, in addition to their artistic training. Transfer students are encouraged to apply to a selected major. Credit evaluations are completed on an individual basis upon admission to the college. Fall 2012 Freshman Admit Rate Applicants 8,902 Admits (33% of freshman applicants) 2,967 EOP The Educational Opportunity Program (EOP) provides for the special admission, tutoring, and counseling of capable students whose educational and economic circumstances have made it difficult to attend college. Freshmen EOP applicants must par ticipate in an on-campus interview. Programs of Study Undergraduates at Purchase College are students within the School of Liberal Arts and Sciences or the School of the Arts. The School of Liberal Arts and Sciences houses the schools of Humanities, Natural and Social Science and the School for Film and Media Studies. The School of the Arts houses the professional training programs in the conservatories of Music, Dance and Theatre Arts and the School of Art and Design, including the new BS in Visual Arts, BA in Playwriting/Screenwriting and BA in Theatre and Performance. There is a strong cultural crossover between the programs in the two schools; however, it should be understood that the BFA and MusB programs in the arts and the BA and BS programs in the liberal arts at Purchase College are quite distinct and offer discrete options for crossover academic experiences. Liberal arts and sciences programs at Purchase include: anthropology, art history, arts management, biochemistry, biology, chemistry, cinema studies, economics, environmental studies, history, new media, jour nalism, gender studies, language and culture (including French, Hebrew, Italian, and Spanish), literature, crea tive writing, math/computer science, philosophy, political science, psychology, and sociology. Six professional training-level programs of study (in acting, dance, film, music, theater design/technology, and visual arts) offer rigorous courses of study for students who have decided to pursue professional careers in the arts. MFA degrees are also offered in visual arts, music, design technology, and dance, and an MA is offered in art history. Beginning with the first semester at Purchase, freshman and transfer students are assigned a faculty advisor who counsels and helps design programs of study. The opportunities for interdisciplinary course work—the combination of different courses into a co her ent program of study to reflect a student’s interests and goals—is readily available. There is also an active in ternship program and over 100 study abroad programs. Housing Sixty-seven percent of the College’s matriculated students reside on the campus, although there is also an active group of commuter students. On-campus housing consists of a variety of residence halls and apartments in eight different complexes. Most students live in corridor double and triple rooms, while others choose to live in four- to eight-person suites. Apartments, accom - modating three to six upper-class students, are equipped with full kitchens. Athletics With 15 intercollegiate men’s and women’s teams, Purchase College is a full Division III member of the NCAA. The Panthers compete in the highly competi tive Skyline Conference and can qualify for post season play in both the NCAA and the nation’s largest conference, the Eastern College Athletic Conference. The men’s volleyball team is a member of the Northeast Collegiate Volleyball Association, the oldest conference for men’s volleyball in the country, and our women’s swim team competes in both the Skyline and Hudson Valley Women’s Athletic Conference. Purchase athletics recently expanded and renovated the outdoor tennis and basketball courts and recently completed a $2 million turf field. The athletic program is designed to promote wellness and provide access to a wide range of students. Students of all levels of athletic ability are able to take advantage of a variety of recreation, fitness, and skill-building programs, including fencing, belly dancing, yoga, and Pilates.

The college's innovative design provides flexible options that allow faculty mentors to work with undergraduate students to design individual degree programs that meet their educational, career and personal goals. In addition to credit transferred from previous college experience, students very often bring with them learning gained through training at the workplace, in service to the military, and other life experiences. The college assesses this knowledge and in many cases awards credit for college-level learning, which saves time and money. The college pairs each student with a faculty men - tor who supports that student throughout her or his college career. Students engage in guided independent study and coursework onsite at 35 locations across the state, online or a combination of both, which provides the flexibility many modern students demand. Students have the opportunity to enroll at five different times during the year, with four, 15-week terms beginning in September, November, January and March. The fifth term, in May, features both a 15-week and an 8-week option. The college’s School for Graduate Studies, which educates students primarily, but not exclusively, online, offers eight masters’ degrees and several graduate certificate programs. More than 63,000 people have achieved personal and professional success by earning a SUNY degree from Empire State College.
