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 />

Unique to our campus are the ornamental horticulture<br />

teaching gardens, Solar Energy Center, Avia tion<br />

Education Center at Republic Airport, and the Insti -<br />

tute for Research and Tech nol ogy Transfer. We also<br />

focus on applied research such as solar ener gy, fuel<br />

cells, medical research, robotics and manufacturing.<br />

Students have an opportu nity to be involved in<br />

cutting-edge research with our faculty and industry<br />

partners. And with the new Bioscience degree, you<br />

may be able to interact with scientists at the Broad<br />

Hollow Bioscience Park. Recently, more than 500<br />

students from 15 departments were engaged in<br />

experiential learning activities, such as internships<br />

and clinical placements.<br />
