Established by the SUNY Board of Trustees on June 14, 1966, the State University of New York Institute of Technology at Utica/Rome, now known as Suny Polytechnic Institute, is New York’s public institute of technology. Suny Polytechnic Institute students pursue undergraduate and graduate degrees in technology and professional studies on the Suny Polytechnic Institute campus. Our students come from all over New York, many other states, and more than 20 other nations; a growing number of students also take Suny Polytechnic Institute courses and, in some cases, entire degree programs online.
