Who We Are
- World-Wise
- Innovative
- Engaged
At Binghamton, we believe that a 21st century college education requires a deep engagement with the world. Our vision is to design a distinctly global educational experience and foster an inclusive campus community that infuses all aspects of college life with an international perspective.
That vision is reality at Binghamton. The University has been recognized with seven national awards for innovation in international education.
Students from more than 100 countries choose Binghamton because they know it's one of few American universities that emphasize meaningful cultural and intellectual exchange.
At Binghamton, we value curiosity and exploration in art and culture; in science and engineering; and about people, families, communities and nations.
We continually expand our library holdings and improve electronic access to sources that support learning and discovery.
We invest in top-notch facilities and engage in industry partnerships knowing our immensely talented students and faculty will make discoveries that enrich our campus, our community and our world.
Success breeds success, and what began as a small, liberal arts college is now a nationally recognized research institution with one of the two fastest-growing research programs in the state.
Most of all, we want our students to have an exciting, fulfilling and rewarding college experience. We have such a remarkable freshmen retention rate (91.7%) because we haven't forgotten that college is about a whole lot more than classes.
It's our 400+ student clubs and organizations, our NCAA Division I sports, our tight-knit residential communities and our supportive and hardworking staff.
And, we aren't just engaged on campus. Our campus culture encourages service to the communityand the University has a significant economic impact on the region and the state.
