School Details

The State University of New York at Oswego was founded in 1861 as the Oswego Primary Teachers’ Training School by Edward Austin Sheldon who embraced and popularized some of the most innovative teaching methods of his day. To meet the expanded need for specialized instruction, the institution broadened its academic perspective to become a full-fledged arts and sciences institution in the SUNY system and featuring a range of liberal and professional studies by 1962. Today Oswego’s curriculum is a combination of classroom theory and practical experience that continues to ensure students are prepared to meet the market demands. Its academic foundation includes a focus on such fundamental skills as writing, critical thinking, and computer literacy, setting students up for success.
