About the Institution
Situated on a pristine
280-acre main campus in the town of Onondaga, bordering the city of Syracuse, SUNY Onondaga stands out as an educational leader in Central
New York. Onondaga Community College (OCC) is a two-year, open access, public institution of higher education affiliated with the 64-campus
State University of New York System. OCC serves a student body of over 8,000 students (4850 enrolled on campus, 3240 enrolled in college
while attending local high schools). Of 4350 degree-seeking students, 36% are students of color; 34% are first generation in college; and
60% are eligible to receive Pell grants due to their low-income status. OCC offers numerous supports and wrap around services to assist this
high-need population.
The College is located immediately outside the City of Syracuse, New York in suburban Onondaga County, the
county selected by Micron Technology, Inc. in 2022 for a $100B investment in memory chip fabrication. OCC is proud to have been selected by
Micron as its two-year partner in the training of semiconductor technicians. The City of Syracuse is also home to four major hospitals and
numerous long-term care facilities employing tens of thousands of workers. Preparation for advanced technology, healthcare, and human
services roles is a hallmark of the College’s educational practice.
Living in the Area
The uniqueness
of Onondaga lies in its historical and cultural significance, as well as its natural features. The town is situated near Onondaga Lake,
which has both historical and ecological importance as it was a vital resource for Native American communities. Onondaga features several
parks and green spaces, offering residents and visitors opportunities for outdoor recreation. One notable area is Onondaga Lake Park, known
for its scenic beauty and recreational activities.
Nearby the city of Syracuse and surrounding suburban, exurban, and rural areas
offer a broad choice of lifestyles, urban amenities, and natural environment. Examples include: a professional symphony, professional
theatre, numerous popular performing arts venues and local restaurants, excellent public schools, and a vibrant business community comprised
of major engineering and technology firms, advanced manufacturing companies, business services, nationally and internationally recognized
colleges and universities, and the healthcare organizations noted above. Central New York also boasts scenic beauty: mountains, valleys, the
Finger Lakes wine region, and ample freshwater resources. Outdoor enthusiasts will enjoy both land and water activities spanning four
distinct seasons. History was made in Central New York, and the next chapter is about to be written with an unprecedented investment in the
semiconductor industry and a high tech and high touch workforce.
