The SUNY system consists of four groups of institutions, all with very different missions (community colleges, agriculture and technical colleges, comprehensive colleges, and research universities). SUNY Cobleskill i ans agriculture and technology college, a sector notable for the divergent and entrepreneurial paths of its member institutions. Some of these institutions have generally focused on various technologies and trades, while others have sought to more closely resemble comprehensive colleges. At the same time, many community colleges have sought to increase their course offerings by more closely resembling the ag-tech colleges. Within this context, Cobleskill maintains a diverse array of majors, but is notable for how its agriculture programs dominate its character and infuse the College with a national perspective—even if these programs are not the majority of instruction. 88 Utica School of Commerce - Oneonta Maria College 90 Due to this positioning, the College has both a very localized and supraregional perspective. For this reason the College considers itself an “Uncommon campus” within the array of SUNY institutions. Hartwick College SUNY Oneonta ACADEMIC PARTNERSHIPS SUNY Delhi Catskills 87 Columbia Greene Community College SUNY Cobleskill’s articulation agreements with other institutions of higher education demonstrate its dedication to connectivity within and beyond the SUNY system. The College has established articulation agreements with community colleges, public colleges, and private universities both nationally and internationally, which ease the transfer of SUNY Cobleskill’s students to baccalaureate and master’s degree programs at other institutions and vice versa (see Appendix for list). PEER INSTITUTIONS Job Training Program 2 Year Program 4 Year Program 4+ Year Program The College identifies its peer institutions as the Pennsylvania College of Technology, CUNY New York City College of Technology, and Southern Vermont College. Its aspirational peers are Green Mountain College in Vermont, Cazenovia College, and the University of Minnesota- Crookston, which have all successfully transitioned from two-year to fouryear colleges. The College has also identified the University of Maine at Farmington and Dakota State University as worthy of emulation for their retention and graduation rates, students’ standardized test scores, and alumni support. 20

In addition to signing the Talloires Declaration for sustainability (this differs from the American College and University Presidents’ Climate Commitment, of which Cobleskill is not a signatory), created for and by presidents of institutions of higher learning, SUNY Cobleskill has incorporated sustainability into the College’s Strategic Plan. It has also implemented a campus-wide recycling program and “Taste Don’t Waste,” a waste-reduction program in the dining halls. All new construction and major renovations are to conform to Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards. In 2009, SUNY Cobleskill broke ground on its new Center for Environmental Science and Technology, which will house research in biowaste-to-bioenergy technology. Also last year, the College and Schoharie County Public Transit launched a new public transit program with an expanded service area and reduced fares for students. 21
