Education options beyond the books

 SUNY Oswego enrolls 6,700 full-time undergraduate students in an encouraging, challenging, and open-minded environment.

Some of the center’s programs connect directly to the classroom, with political science students conducting exit polling during elections and psychology majors doing hands-on work at local mental health facilities.

 Oswego provides students with a series of first-year programs that take place in the summer prior to fall enrollment.

All three of Oswego’s creative art departments — art, music and theatre — are nationally accredited, a rare feat testifying to the high quality of programs, the diversity of opportunities and the accomplishments of alumni.

 Oswego’s School of Education has roots to college founder Edward Austin Sheldon, who launched an educational revolution in the 19th century that impacted the training and methods of teachers throughout the country and the world.
