Utica College

Located in the heart of Central New York, Utica University is a comprehensive, independent, private institution founded in 1946 as Utica College. We offer many of the advantages of a large university, such as undergraduate and graduate degree options, excellent academic programs, and outstanding faculty, but with an intimacy and a high degree of personal attention more closely associated with smaller private colleges.
