130 ACADEMIC PROGRAMS IN SIX SCHOOLS

The College of Community and Public Affairs meets the needs of students who want to make a positive impact in the world. All undergraduate students enrolled in CCPA major in Human Development.

Its graduates have gone on to be teachers, counselors, attorneys, social workers, high-ranking government officials and business leaders.

The Decker School of Nursing has an enviable reputation among nursing programs in New York, the nation and other countries. It prides itself on both the quality and the quantity of its clinical practice experiences that are seen as the foundation for graduates’ success in professional practice. Graduates assume leadership roles in practice, education and administration throughout the nation.

The School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Science offers the doctor of pharmacy degree (PharmD).

FRESHMAN RESEARCH IMMERSION PROGRAMBinghamton’s Freshman Research Immersion (FRI) program is one of only four in the U.S!

FRI offers academically talented, first-year students to start building a lifelong career in the sciences.

In the process, students build enriching professional relationships and set their course for college and career success.

UNIVERSITY SCHOLARS PROGRAM A small number of incoming freshmen are invited each year to join the Binghamton University Scholars Program, which provides exceptional students with opportunities to be mentored by top-level administrators and faculty, showcase their work locally and nationally, and enjoy unique access to graduate assistantships and specialized internships.

PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS SCHOLARSPwC Scholars is the honors program in Binghamton’s business school and provides students with unparalleled leadership and networking experiences that prepare students to enter the business world as distinguished professionals.

A favorite is the annual international travel experience where Scholars go abroad for 10 days to learn about a country’s culture and business environment. Past trips have included Germany, South Africa, Italy and Japan. 

SUMMER SCHOLARS AND ARTISTS FELLOWSHIPSThis program offers financial awards to students conducting special research, scholarship or creative activities during the summer. With guidance from faculty mentors, students have pursued topics such as integrative neuroscience and music, anxiety disorders and Parkinson’s disease.

BINGHAMTON

LIFE IN GREATER BINGHAMTONBinghamton is the birthplace of IBM and Link Simulators. The industry clusters of the Southern Tier (the upstate region of New York where Binghamton is located) include defense, distribution, insurance, healthcare, agriculture and manufacturing.

Downtown Binghamton is located a short ride from campus. Two convenient bus systems take Binghamton students to shopping malls, grocery stores, movies and more at no cost! Students enjoy going downtown to cafés, dance clubs and galleries, and to cheer on the city’s professional baseball and hockey teams.

Binghamton is a safe, friendly and affordable community that is easily accessible by bus, car and plane, and is close to many cities including a three-hour drive to New York City. Each year, hundreds of student participate in “Binghamton in the City,” a full week of networking events hosted by Binghamton.

“I have never seen a more beautiful fall season than at Binghamton!

“There are so many things I like about Binghamton. I came here because it was affordable and because I fell in love with the campus. The students are welcoming, the professors really want you to do well, and the career center will help you with your resume and to look for jobs before you graduate.

“I’m a teaching assistant for anatomy and physiology and am also involved in the Student Ambassador Club. There’s plenty to do on campus, but the bus system (which is free!) makes it easy to get around when you want to explore the city of Binghamton.”
