SUNY Canton

The State University of New York at Canton (SUNY Canton) is a public, coeducational, residential college located in the Town of Canton in St. Lawrence County, New York, United States. Its northern location places it close to the Adirondack Mountains, the St. Lawrence River, and major Canadian cities such as Ottawa and Montreal.

The College works with the State University of New York Polytechnic Institute to offer students three master's degree programs. SUNY Canton's 14 athletic teams compete as members of the NCAA Division III and the USCAA.

The university offers cross-registration with St. Lawrence University, Clarkson University, and SUNY Potsdam as members of the Associated Colleges of the St. Lawrence Valley. A two-and-two program in environmental science and forestry and a one-and-one program in Forest Technology are offered in conjunction with the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry. In both programs students begin taking general education classes at SUNY Canton prior to transferring to SUNY ESF to take environmental and forestry classes and complete the degree programs.

Students interested in pursuing a master's degree in accountancy (MS), health services administration (MS), and technology management (MBA) have the opportunity to do so. SUNY Canton offers this opportunity through SUNYIT's master's program.

SUNY Canton athletic teams are known as the SUNY Canton Kangaroos, often shortened to Roos. The Roos currently competes in NCAA Division III athletics, independent of conference affiliation for most sports until fall of 2018 when they will join the North Atlantic Conference, women's ice hockey competes in the newly formed ECAC North Atlantic Division and baseball has joined the Empire Eight Conference.
