Utica College (or UC) is located in Utica, New York. The history of the college dates back to the 1930s when Syracuse University began offering extension courses in the Utica area. Syracuse University established Utica College as a four-year institution in 1946, and in 1995, UC became a financially and legally independent institution. Utica College continues to offer the Syracuse University degree to undergraduates through a unique arrangement with that institution. UC is officially mentioned in Syracuse's Charter, Article 1, Section 3: "Utica College shall be represented by the President, appointed ex officio, and by the dean of the college, and another representative selected by the college." Graduate students receive the Utica College degree.

Campus

Utica College was originally located in downtown Utica, NY in what is now called Oneida Square. In 1961 the school moved to its current 128 acre (0 km) campus, located in the western area of the city, close to its borders are the towns of Whitestown and New Hartford. The campus can be accessed from both Burrstone Road and Champlin Avenue.

When first completed, the current campus consisted of Hubbard Hall (academic classrooms), Addison Miller White Hall (administration), Gordon Science Center, DePerno Hall (faculty offices), and the Frank E. Gannett Memorial Library. Gannett Library is located on the Champlin Avenue side of the campus and provides students with access to over 200,000 volumes.

The original dormitories, North and South Hall, are still in use as well as Alumni Hall, an apartment-style dormitory. The Ralph F. Strebel Center is the student center which houses the Pioneer Cafe, the college radio station WPNR, the Utica College bookstore, and the school newspaper The Tangerine. Increased enrollment at the turn of the millennium prompted the administration to expand. Recent construction projects include an addition to the main academic building in 2002, and three dormitories: New Hall and Conference Center, Tower Hall and Bell Hall. Construction has begun on the new F. Eugene Romano Hall, Phase I of UC's new Science and Technology Center, which will be 23,000 square foot (0 m) of classrooms, laboratories, and clinical space as well as technological upgrades.

In Fall 2006, the college enrolled 2,429 undergraduate students and 523 graduate students. There are nearly 20,000 Utica College alumni.

Academics

Utica College offers around 40 majors, 24 minors, several masters degree programs, and a number of pre-professional and special programs. Utica College also offers programs in teacher education which lead to certification.
