Farmingdale State College of New York is located on 380 acres in central Long Island. The College is easily accessible via the Long Island Expressway, the Northern and Southern State Parkways, and the Long Island Railroad. Established in 1912 to serve a largely agrarian community, the College now meets the needs of the region and New York State through its emphasis on the applied sciences and high technology. As Long Island's first public college, Farmingdale State offers the bachelor of science, bachelor of technology, and a comprehensive array of associate degree programs, as well as a wide range of non-credit and certificate programs, workshops and seminars.
Farmingdale State College is a unit within the State University of New York system, offering a broad range of associate degree programs as well as bachelor degrees in the applied sciences and technologies. Within SUNY, Farmingdale has the distinct mission of serving the traditional and non-traditional student through a balanced combination of associate and upper division baccalaureate degree programs. Curricula awarding the bachelor's degree resemble in purpose those traditionally found at polytechnical colleges in their applications orientation but also reflect the newly emerging, frequently multidisciplinary, fields of the applied sciences and technologies. The College provides an extensive evening program directed towards the adult student seeking intellectual growth as well as career advancement or change.
Matching its distinctive mission is a distinguished faculty that blends together individuals possessing both the highest credentials and industrial experience. Most faculty in the College's curricula are still actively involved with business and industry, thereby constantly exposing their students to the most contemporary practices in the field. Equalling its desire to serve an increased number of underrepresented students, the College is committed to a pluralistic faculty and staff.
