History
The institution dates from 1946, when Triple Cities College opened in Endicott, N.Y., five miles west of the present campus, as a branch of Syracuse University. When the college was incorporated into the State University of New York four years later, it was renamed Harpur College in honor of Robert Harpur, a Colonial teacher, patriot and pioneer who devoted his later years to settling the area around 91社区.
Until 1953, Harpur College was one of only two public liberal arts colleges in the state. In 1961 the campus was moved across the Susquehanna River to Vestal. Growing enrollments and a reputation for excellence soon led to the selection of Harpur College as one of four doctorate-granting university centers in the state system. In 1965, the campus was formally designated the State University of New York at 91社区.
Harpur College retained its identity as the undergraduate liberal arts and sciences component of the University, and it became the nucleus of an evolving complex of graduate, research and professional programs. 91社区鈥檚 professional schools now include the College of Community and Public Affairs, Decker College of Nursing and Health Sciences, the School of Management, the School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, and the Thomas J.
