The State University of New York, abbreviated SUNY (pronounced /ˈsuːniː/) is a system of public institutions of higher education in New York, United States. It is the largest comprehensive system of universities, colleges, and community colleges in the world, with a total enrollment of 438,361 students, plus 1.1 million adult education students spanning 64 campuses across the state. The SUNY system has 83,547 faculty members and some 6,650 degree and certificate programs overall. SUNY includes many institutions and four University Centers: Albany (1844), Binghamton (1946), Buffalo (1846), and Stony Brook (1957). SUNY's administrative offices are in Albany.
The State University of New York was established in 1948 by then-Governor of New York, Thomas E. Dewey, through legislative implementation of recommendations made by the Temporary Commission on the Need for a State University (1946–1948). The Commission was chaired by Owen D. Young, then-Chairman of the General Electric Company. The system was greatly expanded during the administration of Governor Nelson A. Rockefeller, who took a personal interest in design and construction of new SUNY facilities across the state.
SUNY comprises all institutions of higher education statewide that are state-supported, with the exception of the institutions that are units of the City University of New York (CUNY).
组织
SUNY is governed by a Board of Trustees, which consists of sixteen members, fifteen of whom are appointed by the Governor, with consent of the New York State Senate. The sixteenth member is the President of the SUNY Student Assembly. The Board of Trustees appoints the Chancellor who serves as SUNY Chief Executive Officer. The SUNY Chancellor is Nancy L. Zimpher.
The state of New York assists in financing the SUNY system, which, along with CUNY, provides lower-cost college-level education to residents of the state. SUNY students also come from out-of-state and 171 foreign countries, though tuition is higher for these students. Although tuition is higher for these non-resident students, their tuition is subsidized by New York State taxpayer dollars.
Tuition costs at SUNY schools for an undergrad degree is less than two third's the cost of most other state run college institutions in the U.S.. For example: Tuition at the New York State University at Buffalo () per semester for an undergrad degree is $7,456.50 or $14,913.00 per year for non-resident students. Undergrad tuition for non-resident students at the University of Maryland () is $11,251.50 per semester or $22,503.00 per year. Another example is: University of Oregon is $11,859.00 per semester and $23,718.00 per year (./0910_cost_of_attendance</ref>) These tuition disparities can easily be researched by comparing all other state university systems across the nation.
There are a large variety of colleges in the SUNY system with some overlap in specialties from site to site. SUNY divides its campuses into four distinct categories: university centers/doctoral-granting institutions, university colleges, technology colleges, and community colleges. SUNY also has a unique relationship with its statutory colleges which embeds state-owned, state-funded colleges within other institutions such as Cornell University and Alfred University. Students at the statutory colleges have the benefit of state-subsidized tuition while receiving all of the campus life amenities of the host institutions.
SUNY and the City University of New York are entirely different university systems, despite the fact that both are public institutions which receive funding from New York State. Also, SUNY is not to be confused with the University of the State of New York (USNY), which is the governmental umbrella organization for most education-related institutions and many education-related personnel (both public and private) in New York State, and which includes, as a component, the New York State Education Department.

体育运动
Every school within the SUNY system manages its own athletics program, which greatly varies the level of competition at each institution.
Division I
- The four university centers all compete at the Division I level for all of their sports. All but Binghamton field American football teams, with Buffalo in Division I FBS (formerly Division I-A) and Albany and Stony Brook in Division I FCS (formerly Division I-AA). The four Cornell statutory colleges compete as a part of the Ivy League, an FCS conference that chooses not to participate in the FCS postseason tournament.
- A small number of community colleges compete at the NJCAA Div. 1 level.
Division II and III
- Most SUNY colleges, technical schools and community schools compete at the NCAA or NJCAA Div. II or III level.
- Three SUNY campuses (Environmental Science and Forestry, Canton and Delhi) are members of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA).
Rivalries
The most prominent SUNY rivalry is between the Albany Great Danes and Binghamton Bearcats. The two both belong to the America East athletic conference. Frequently referred to as the I-88 Rivalry, Binghamton and Albany sit at either end of Interstate 88 (roughly 2.5 hours apart). Both teams are known to post the highest visitor attendance at either school's athletic events.
SUNY Oswego and SUNY Plattsburgh also share a notable rivalry in Division 3 Hockey, with that game almost always having the SUNYAC regular season title up for grabs.
SUNY Cobleskill and SUNY Delhi rivalry is mainly involving basketball, cross country, and previously track, although Cobleskill track and field competes at the NCAA Division III level starting spring 2009. They are in fairly close proximity to each other. The SUNY Delhi 2003-2004 basketball season was canceled after a basketball game was called with 48 seconds left after several SUNY Delhi basketball players nearly started a brawl in the Ioro Gymnasium at SUNY Cobleskill on Wednesday February 4, 2004.
There is an unusual sports rivalry between SUNY-ESF and Finger Lakes Community College, with both campuses sponsoring nationally-ranked teams in timber sports (woodsmen's teams).
SUNY Potsdam and SUNY Canton participate in a Go Hard Go Home challenge. Go Hard Go Home commenced in Spring 2009. Go Hard, Go Home consists of a DJ Battle, Step Team Battle, Dance Team Battle, and a Rapping Battle. Since 2009, SUNY Potsdam won the 2009 Go Hard Go Home and 2010 Go Hard Go Home Challenge.
