SUNY Plattsburgh has officially been designated a university by New York state.
SUNY Plattsburgh is now designated a university, rather than a college, following approval in December by the SUNY Board of Trustees of a 2022 Board of Regents policy change. The four-year institution will continue using the name SUNY Plattsburgh, or State University of New York at Plattsburgh, on official and federal documents.
SUNY Plattsburgh President Alexander Enyedi called the designation a “positive step” in growing and sustaining enrollment.
Other SUNY campuses have, or are in the process of obtaining, the university designation.
