Chartered in 1870 as a private, coeducational institution of higher education, Syracuse University is propelled by the bold idea of Scholarship in Action—education that is not static, but the living expression of insight that drives change. You’ll engage with the world from the moment you join our community.
As a leading national research university of 12,700 undergraduate students from all 50 states and 90 countries, it is a place where students become leaders, teachers, and collaborators and where the community is continually impacted by the energy of new ideas. Choose from more than 200 majors and 90 minors throughout our nine colleges.
Enjoy a traditional college campus setting on a hill overlooking the City of Syracuse in the heart of Central New York. We’re large enough to offer the many opportunities found at a major research institution, yet small enough that you feel a deep sense of community. It’s the perfect setting for you to come and make your mark!
