One of 13 comprehensive colleges in the State University of New York system, SUNY Cortland prides itself on its rigorous undergraduate and graduate programs in the liberal arts, sciences, education, and professional studies. For more than 150 years, SUNY Cortland has provided unmistakable value for students seeking a well-rounded academic, athletic, and social experience.

SUNY Cortland’s Division of Academic Affairs spans most of the academic and administrative functions of the university, and the provost will manage a diverse and wide-ranging portfolio. The Division includes the School of Arts and Sciences, the School of Education and the School of Professional Studies.
