History
Originally a graduate and upper-division (transfer) institution, the college offered classes in temporary locations and at extension sites for several years until the first buildings were constructed on the permanent Marcy, N.Y., campus in the 1980s. In 2002, the SUNY Board of Trustees approved a mission change, enabling SUNYIT to offer lower-division programs in professional, technological, and applied studies. In fall 2003, SUNYIT admitted its first class of freshmen, becoming a full, four-year institution.

“the future is simply nothing at all. Nothing has happened to the present by becoming past except that fresh slices of existence have been added to the total history of the world. The past is thus as real as the present.”
