Binghamton University

its students academically not financially. As a concourse for both rigorous private school academics—
known for research and diversity—and a campus
culture focused on public community—worldwide
and at home—Binghamton University offers the
best of both worlds. Anteing up on these accomplishments, Binghamton University has cast a new
flag, Road Map to Premier, an expansion plan to
increase research capabilities with new technology
and science buildings, decrease the student-tofaculty ratio, and extend their presence in down­
town Binghamton, to become the Premier Public
University of the 21st Century.

to distance learning, flexible class schedules, and
rated among top military friendly colleges, SUNY
Broome provides degree opportunities for all kinds
and all types of learners, anywhere, anytime, in any
