Alfred State College is excited to announce our partnership with CampusESP to design a new web tool that allows parents and family to stay connected to their student.

Alfred State College is proud to announce a Veteran Enrollment and Support Internship program through SUNY.   This is a paid internship for student veterans to assist in the enrollment and engagement of veteran and military connected students.  

To be considered, students must: 

*served in the United States military, to include members of the Guard and Reserve

*Have at least 30 credit hours, been at the campus for two semesters, and be in good academic standing.

For more details, or to apply, contact Joann Bloxsom at bloxsojf@alfredstate.edu by April 5. 

Congratulations to the entire campus as we set a new school record this week!

Interest among prospective students for the 2024 fall cohort at Alfred State surpassed 10,000 applications. Out of all of SUNY’s Colleges of Technology, only Farmingdale in densely populated Long Island has ever crossed the 10,000 milestone. Last year, the total number received was 9,349 applications, and in 2018 we had 9,171 overall (see historic chart).

Academics, enrollment, student engagement, and everyone on campus work together to build our school’s stellar reputation. It is so very gratifying to see another measure of how our efforts resonate with prospective students and parents who are comparing colleges and universities. Truly more and more people want to be a Pioneer!
