At Binghamton, our definition of excellence is constantly evolving.

When Binghamton University opened its doors 62 years ago, our goal was to be an excellent regional liberal arts college. Back then we wanted to be the best college in the SUNY system. Now we're the best public University in the whole Northeast. But why stop there?

Our mission is to provide an affordable, world-class education to high-caliber students from culturally and economically diverse backgrounds. Our focus is always on the student. Our internationally renowned faculty members produce amazing scholarship and art, and bring their spirit of inquiry and discovery into the classroom.
