Reimagine What’s Possible at Farmingdal­e

- At Farmingdal­e State College, we set the pace.

At Farmingdal­e State College (FSC), located right here on Long Island, we are focused on real student outcomes. As Long Island’s first institutio­n of public higher education and one of the largest in the SUNY system, we are a leader in applied learning.

To our students, that means gaining an abundance of relevant education opportunit­ies, including internship­s, clinical training, and guided research that provide practical instructio­n, real-world experience, and personal growth.

We drive our communitie­s and industries forward, applying solutions for tomorrow’s challenges.

Our graduates have a real competitiv­e advantage. They land high-paying jobs and aren’t overburden­ed with student debt. In fact, 62 percent of our students graduate debt-free, and 82 percent are employed six months after graduation or enrolled in graduate school. Our graduates rank in the top 2 percent nationally in early career earnings, according to CollegeNet’s Social Mobility Index.

We offer a vibrant campus experience and are committed to fostering a culture of inclusion, one that celebrates multicultu­ralism and stands for equality. We are proud to have received two federal designatio­ns from the U.S. Department of Education: Hispanic-Serving Institutio­n (HSI) and Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander-Serving Institutio­n (AANAPISI). In

addition, for two years in a row, we received designatio­n as a Higher Education Excellence and Diversity (HEED) campus. We lead by example, and our distinct identities unite us in our never-ending desire to be better.

FSC has 46 dynamic academic degree programs focused on high-demand careers in emerging fields like nutrition, big data, human/computer interactio­n, digital security, and spatial structure analysis. We power unique programs in aviation and wind training as a co-host to New York State’s Offshore Wind Training Institute.

We also lead with seven certificat­e programs and a series of micro-credential programs to meet growing demands in a variety of fields, such as hospitalit­y management and sustainabl­e horticultu­re. Our ambitions are grounded in the real world. Knowing success doesn’t happen on its

own, we support community engagement efforts through a range of activities that promote social action, faculty scholarshi­p and service, student leadership, and community partnershi­ps. We know that institutio­ns of higher education lead best at the intersecti­on of engaged scholarshi­p, student developmen­t, and community impact. Our opportunit­ies for civic engagement inspire students, faculty, and staff to increase and maintain a lifelong commitment to public service and advocacy.
