Utica College is a private, four-year college located in the heart of central New York.
Utica-College's history reaches back to the 1930s when Syracuse University operated extension courses in the Utica, N.Y. area.
UC was established thanks to the efforts of business and community leaders in the Mohawk Valley who saw a need for such an institution. In 1946, Syracuse University launched Utica-College. Originally, the school was located in a section of downtown Utica known as Oneida Square. In 1961, the school moved to its current site off of Burrstone Road.
Utica-College continues to offer the Syracuse University degree to undergraduates through a unique academic agreement with the University, although the College became a financially and legally independent institution in 1995. Since 1998, the College has offered graduate degree programs and has plans to expand its master's degree offerings in the coming years.
