History SUNY Cobleskill was chartered by an act of the state legislature in 1911 and opened its doors as the Schoharie State School of Agriculture in 1916. It is one of the oldest institutions of its kind in New York State. In 1917, a home economics division was added to the existing agriculture program. Programs developed in food service and hospitality administration, and in early childhood, to fulfill the rising need for specialized preparation in these fields. From 1920 to 1931, SUNY Cobleskill offered a rural teacher training program, which was later transferred to the state's teachers colleges. In the early 1950's, the Business division evolved from the Agriculture division. Courses in Liberal Arts and Sciences have been offered since the college's founding in 1916. Many changes have taken place in name, organization, instruction and academic programs as SUNY Cobleskill has evolved to meet the needs of an ever changing society and some of the world's most dynamic fields of study. When the State University of New York system was organized in 1948, SUNY Cobleskill was one of its original campuses, and, in 1966, was designated a State University Agricultural and Technological College. In 1987, we were renamed the State University of New York College of Agriculture and Technology at Cobleskill. In 1996, SUNY founded the Technology Colleges sector, linking SUNY Cobleskill with the system's other colleges of agriculture and technology, as well as several special technology colleges. Location SUNY Cobleskill is located in New York's Schoharie County-a picturesque and historic area approximately 160 miles northwest of New York City and midway between Albany and Oneonta. NYS Route 7 runs through the middle of our 750-acre campus at the western edge of the village of Cobleskill, directly off of I-88. Schoharie County offers a rare combination of rural life and direct access to the services and activities of a metropolitan area-New York's Capital Region. Albany lies only a 40-minute drive northeast of the college. The county is in close proximity to such splendors as the Adirondack Park, the Catskill Mountains, the historic Helderberg Mountains, and the Mohawk Valley. State and private parks, streams, lakes, mountain trails and ski areas provide an abundance of outdoor activities. The village of Cobleskill, with approximately 5,300 residents, is a typical small college town with convenient access to shopping, dining, houses of worship, recreational facilities and medical services. With a history that dates to 1711, the Cobleskill area is a treasure trove of historic sites and museums. Residence Halls The college has ten residence halls designed to accommodate between 150 and 231 students each. They house only full-time students. All student rooms are wired for cable television and Internet access, as well as voice mail. Based upon cost and availability, rooms may be singles, doubles or triples. Residence hall accommodations are the property of the State University of New York, and are subject to the rules and regulations of the State University and the college. The College Council SUNY Cobleskill's College Council, in accordance with provisions of New York State Education Law, consists of ten members-nine appointed by the governor and one elected by and from the student body. A member designated by the governor serves as the council's chair. Council members are appointed to terms of seven years. As established by the State University Trustees, the duties and powers of SUNY Cobleskill's College Council include: recommending candidates to the SUNY trustees for appointment as president of the college; reviewing all major plans of the president and making relevant recommendations before submission to the trustees; making regulations regarding campus faculty; reviewing and recommending institutional budgets; fostering the development of citizen advisory committees; naming buildings and grounds; making regulations regarding student conduct; and exercising supervision of student housing and safety.
