BINGHAMTON has earned a reputation as the premier public university in the Northeast because of its exceptional, innovative academic programs, outstanding students, faculty and staff, and the graduation rates. For 60 years, we have been sustained by a vision of excellence that has earned us accolades as the "crown jewel" of New York State's public university system. From unheated Quonset huts offering returning GIs the chance to attend a public liberal arts college to the soaring glass walls of our new academic buildings, Binghamton has made that vision a reality.

As you explore the information presented here, I hope you will agree with me that Binghamton is indeed a public university where excellence is prized, creativity is encouraged, and students are well prepared for the challenges of the 21st century.
