Why work for SUNY Adirondack?

Apply now
SUNY Adirondack, a member of the State University of New York, is located in the foothills of the Adirondack Mountains, one hour north of Albany and 30 minutes from Saratoga Springs. 

We are a small college, with only 4,000 full- and part-time students, yet offer more than 40 unique academic and certificate programs that prepare students for work and transfer to bachelor's degree programs. 

A bachelor's degree is attainable on our Queensbury campus through our SUNY Plattsburgh extension center and, beginning in Spring 2025, on our Saratoga campus through a partnership with SUNY Cobleskill. 

While many of our students are first-generation college educated and from rural areas in upstate New York, we are excited by the influx of students from downstate and out of state who can live in our 400-bed residence hall.

With interactive classroom instruction and one-on-one guidance outside of class, our faculty and staff are committed to personal and public transformation through education, with an emphasis on critical and creative thinking. With a population of 23 percent returning adults and 15 percent people of color, SUNY Adirondack maintains a deep commitment to diversity and inclusion and to the welfare of its growing multicultural student body. We strongly encourage applications from minorities and other underrepresented groups. A demonstrated commitment to working with a diverse student population and to the values of inclusion, engagement and equity is imperative.

SUNY Adirondack enriches and transforms lives and communities through accessible, lifelong educational opportunities.
