| CAMPUS SUMMARY |
 |
Every outstanding university achieves its greatness through a combination of significant factors unique to the institution, and the State University of New York at Binghamton is no exception. In the more than 50 years of existence, Binghamton has pursued two important values - excellence and opportunity. These values provide Binghamton University with its fundamental mission - education that is both accessible and superior - and the composite of these attributes is what makes Binghamton a special institution.
The Binghamton campus - spread over 887 acres on a wooded hillside above Susquehanna River - features physical facilities that are modern, attractive, accessible and exceptionally well maintained. A special campus feature is the Nature Preserve, a 190-acre forest and wetland area with a six-acre pond that adjoins the campus. Binghamton's extensive athletic facilities include two large gymnasiums, with swimming pools, an indoor track, and basketball, volleyball, and racquetball courts. |

| UNIQUE/SPECIAL PROGRAMS |
|
Binghamton University is nationally recognized for its strong academic programs, distinguished faculty, and talented students. Fifteen specialized research centers attract scholars from around the globe to Binghamton's modern campus. One of four university centers within the State University of New York, Binghamton enrolls over 13,000 students in programs leading to bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees. The University consists of Harpur College of Arts and Sciences, the Decker School of Nursing, the School of Education and Human Development, the School of Management, and the Watson School of Engineering and Applied Science. The Graduate School administers advanced-degree programs in the five component schools. Undergraduate and graduate students are taught by a single faculty.
Binghamton's faculty and students - representing a wide range of cultures, backgrounds and ideas - contribute to an open, dynamic and supportive campus environment. The University has an excellent research library, outstanding computing services, and a world-class performing arts center. Over the past 50 years, as it has developed into a highly regarded research university, Binghamton has maintained the collegial qualities of a smaller school. At the half-century mark, Binghamton University remains true to the vision of its founders: to be a public university providing excellence in higher education for today and for the future. |
