Utica College Empowers its Students to Find Themselves and Their Place in the World

Utica College's nearly 20,000 alumni have founded enterprises, built communities, and distinguished themselves in health care, government, education, and many other fields, all over the world. Wherever their dreams may lead them, UC graduates make remarkable contributions using the tools they develop at Utica; tools that include an essential knowledge about the world and how it works and the confidence to lead.

From the moment students arrive on campus, they can find everything they need to achieve their goals. They find remarkably accomplished faculty whom they come to regard not only as mentors and partners in discovery but as friends. They find learning opportunities that lead from classrooms and advanced research facilities to the workplace and beyond. They find a vibrant community of fellow students to engage with on a variety of levels.

But most importantly, UC students find themselves. They discover strengths they never knew they possessed. They build self-confidence through continual intellectual challenge and enriching extracurricular opportunities. They take on leadership roles and make their mark on the college in any number of different ways.

Utica Offers an Array of Degree Programs to Choose From

Utica College offers 37 bachelor's degree programs in more than 60 areas of study. Pre-professional programs are also available, including pre-law, pre-dentistry, pre-medicine, and more. UC also offers a broad range of graduate programs, including master's options in criminal justice administration, economic crime management, education, liberal studies, health care administration, and occupational therapy. In addition, there are two MBA programs and two doctoral programs in physical therapy.

UC Places a Distinct Emphasis on Real-World Learning and Applicable Career Knowledge

UC's academic programs offer internships and other real-world opportunities that put students where they can learn career skills from experienced professionals who use them every day. Through the Office of International Education, students can also follow their academic interests to destinations on five continents and take advantage of exchange programs with colleges and universities in the United Kingdom, Finland, Peru, Japan, and elsewhere.

State-of-the-Art Facilities Abound on the Utica College Campus

The UC campus features a variety of new, cutting-edge facilities. F. Eugene Romano Hall offers state-of-the-art laboratory and learning facilities in the health sciences, including an innovative nursing lab that has become a model for nursing schools nationwide.

UC's Raymond Simon Convergence Media Center is a fully functional high-definition (HD) production, editing, and broadcast facility dedicated to the emeritus professor who founded Utica's highly regarded public relations and journalism programs -- one of only a handful of HD learning facilities in the northeastern U.S.

The college's newest academic building is the recently dedicated Economic Crime and Justice Studies building, a highly sophisticated research and learning center that features cutting-edge forensic technologies, secure evidence rooms, and more.

The Vibrant and Diverse Student Population at Utica Offers Exciting Student Life Options and Activities

When students come to Utica College, they become part of a vibrant, diverse community of learners representing every region of America and 40 countries worldwide. Every room in UC's residence halls is equipped with cable TV hookups and high-speed Internet (not to mention nice, comfortable beds), and every hall offers coinless laundry facilities and common spaces for hanging out with friends.

The campus offers a first-rate fitness facility and several options for dining. UC's student-run programming board sponsors concerts and other performances throughout the term, bringing to campus well-known writers, poets, and artists, as well as prominent politicians and opinion-makers.

There is a lot to do at Utica, and many ways to connect with other students. People who never joined a club in high school may find themselves leading one at UC. Students may be surprised at how far they can go, if they've got the passion to get there.

Utica College's Athletics Programs Include 25 Division III Intercollegiate Sports Teams

UC offers a great many opportunities to celebrate the spirit of competition with 25 Division III intercollegiate sports programs affiliated with the NCAA, Empire 8 Conference, and the ECAC, plus a full roster of intramural athletics. Determined competitors throughout the year, the Pioneers are well supported by members of the college community and the greater Utica area alike.

The Utica College Campus and Surrounding Area is a Great Place to Live and Learn

Utica College is located in a residential neighborhood of Utica, NY, a small city near the center of New York state. UC students are in on a little secret: Utica is a great place to live. Students can go shopping, catch a movie, get an amazing meal (any cuisine one can name), see a Broadway production, visit a first-class art museum, and even do some downhill skiing, all within a few minutes' ride of campus.

If students go a little further, they're in the Adirondacks -- a storied paradise of forested mountains, crystal-clear lakes and streams, ski resorts, and other attractions. When students head south, there's Cooperstown, the birthplace of baseball. Syracuse is less than an hour away; New York City and Boston about five hours.
