Campus<br />
Farmingdale <strong>State</strong> College continues to prepare students<br />
with the education, skills, and critical thinking<br />
needed to meet the challenges <strong>of</strong> tomorrow. As the<br />
largest <strong>of</strong> <strong>SUNY</strong>’s colleges <strong>of</strong> technology (with almost<br />
7,600 students), Farmingdale equips students with<br />
the resources and knowledge sought by today’s<br />
emerging industries.<br />
At Farmingdale, students also have abundant<br />
opportunities in experiential learning—internships,<br />
clinical training, and guided research—that provide<br />
practical instruction and personal growth. Small,<br />
personalized classes, new and renovated residence<br />
halls with corridor and suite-style living, a lush 380-<br />
acre campus undergoing $185 million worth <strong>of</strong> major<br />
renovations, and a highly successful NCAA Division III<br />
athletics program make Farmingdale <strong>State</strong> College<br />
one <strong>of</strong> the fastest-growing colleges in the region.<br />
Founded in 1912, Farmingdale <strong>State</strong> was the first<br />
public college on Long Island. A rich history and more<br />
than 80,000 graduates make Farmingdale <strong>State</strong> a<br />
college with a legacy <strong>of</strong> excellence. Students walk<br />
among the trees, the gardens, and the many historical<br />
buildings that make the traditional 380-acre<br />
campus so appealing. Our location allows limitless<br />
opportunities for recreational and cultural pursuits<br />
in <strong>New</strong> <strong>York</strong> City and on Long Island. Students can<br />
join one <strong>of</strong> more than 30 student clubs, hang out in<br />
the First Stop Café, sip a cappuccino in our Books ‘n<br />
Beans Café, work out in the fitness center, have a<br />
massage at the Health & Wellness Center, visit the<br />
art gallery, hit a few golf balls at the driving range,<br />
get help in our Student Success Center or find a<br />
peaceful place to study in Greenley Library. Our<br />
technology-enhanced classrooms provide unique<br />
learning experiences, while our athletics program<br />
<strong>of</strong>fers a distraction from the classroom. Making<br />
friends and building personal relationships are an<br />
integral part <strong>of</strong> life here at Farmingdale <strong>State</strong>.<br />
Farmingdale has been named as the 5th safest<br />
campus in the nation, based on a statistical analysis<br />
conducted by the online publication <strong>The</strong> Daily Beast,<br />
and the College ranks in the top 150 public colleges<br />
nationally in terms <strong>of</strong> the earning power <strong>of</strong> its<br />
graduates, according to payscale.com.<br />
Unique Features<br />

experiential learning activities, such as internships<br />
and clinical placements.<br />
