More than 2,900 students are enrolled in undergraduate and graduate degree programs in technology, professional studies, and the liberal arts on the SUNYIT campus - a high-tech learning environment on hundreds of acres in Marcy, N.Y., minutes from NYS Thruway Exit 31, Utica. SUNYIT students come from all over New York, many other states, and more than 20 other nations; a growing number of students also take SUNYIT courses and, in some cases, entire degree programs online.

Established by the SUNY Board of Trustees on June 14, 1966, the State University of New York Institute of Technology (SUNYIT) is the State University's only institute of technology. Originally a graduate and upper-division institution, the college offered classes in temporary locations and at extension sites for several years until the first buildings were constructed on the permanent campus in the 1980s.
