About Sullivan

Welcome to Sullivan County Community College (SUNY Sullivan), a small two-year community college that’s a part of the State University of New York system. We’re committed to helping you prepare for the future whether you’re getting your first job, transferring to a four-year college or university or enhancing your personal and professional skills.

Our Mission

Our mission is to provide programs and resources that educate, inspire and empower our students and the broader community. To prepare students for an increasingly diverse, dynamic and interconnected world, SUNY Sullivan will model sustainable actions and promote socially and environmentally responsible citizenship.

Our Campus

Our rural, 405-acre campus is nestled in the scenic Catskill Mountains less than two hours from New York City and Albany. It features a series of nine interconnected buildings plus the Paul Gerry Fieldhouse. Our campus buildings, including the Seelig Theatre located in the center of the complex, were designed by architectural firm Edward Durell Stone & Associates. Edward Stone was famous for his work on the Museum of Modern Art and Radio City Music Hall in New York City, as well as the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C., among other public buildings and spaces. The Lazarus I. Levine Residence Hall and the EcoGreen Townhouses, both located just steps from campus, provide housing for nearly 400 students.

Our Students (as of fall 2009)

There are 1,735 students (1,113 full-time and 622 part-time) enrolled at the college, representing a demographically diverse group of individuals. In addition, two-thirds of these students are residents of Sullivan County.
