A Location that inspires.

Secluded among the foothills of the Adirondack Mountains, surrounded by stunning natural beauty, you’ll find a college that gives new meaning to the phrase “off the beaten path.”

Thanks in part to our out-of-the-way location, SUNY Potsdam has evolved over its 200-plus year history into something you might not expect.

Here, you’ll find a surprisingly sophisticated, richly eclectic, and creative college experience rooted in intellectual freedom and personal development.

“To me, SUNY Potsdam is more than a university, or even a community —it’s a family. I had many deep friendships among my peers, but I also had as many with professors and staff.”
