Contents

SUNY Delhi offers over 60 programs, which can lead to certificates, associate degrees, bachelor's degrees, or master's degrees. There are five academic schools within the college: Veterinary and Applied Sciences, Applied Technologies, Business and Hospitality Management, Nursing, and Liberal Arts and Sciences. The college is accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education. [3]

History

SUNY Delhi was founded on May 24, 1913, as a small agriculture school by two women, Amelia and Elizabeth MacDonald. Then known as the State School of Agriculture and Domestic Science, the college served students from all over New York.

By the late 1920s, the fledgling agricultural college began offering more general education and added dormitory buildings.

The school's name changed for the first time in 1941, becoming the New York State Agricultural and Technical Institute at Delhi, one of six state agricultural schools in New York. Seven years later, the school was absorbed into the newly-established State University of New York system.

Sixteen years after joining the SUNY system in 1948, the college changed its name for a third time, becoming the New York Agricultural and Technical College at Delhi. It was not until this period of the 1960s that the institution expanded to offer more programs of study like business, refrigeration, construction, and veterinary technology. Delhi also added several new academic buildings, more dorms, and a new dining hall. [4]

The school changed names a fourth time in 1987, becoming the State University of New York College of Technology at Delhi. [5]

The college began offering bachelor's degrees in the early 2000s. With this change, the school adopted its current name, State University of New York at Delhi, in 2002. [6] With this upgrade came much expansion of the campus.

In 2018, the SUNY Delhi athletic program joined the NCAA Division III.
