About

We are rural,  located in the Hudson Valley with views of the nearby Shawangunk Mountains (or the "Gunks" as they are called locally), yet we're close to cities like Kingston, NY's first capital, the artists' communities of Woodstock and New Paltz, and an easy ride into New York City for a day or night

You might be surprised to find award-winning writers, renowned performers, and innovative visual artists regularly conducting programs with our students; a dedicated and top-notch faculty focused on students instead of research; or an outstanding intercollegiate (NJCAA) competition athletics program right in your backyard. But that's exactly what you'll find here on a regular basis.

We know college can be financially difficult, but we're here to show you how SUNY Ulster is within your reach with financial aid and $1 million in scholarships awarded annually to students.
