of our campus on Syracuse’s dynamic
“University Hill.” Here, students are close to
lecture halls, labs, hospitals, our library, and
housing.
Upstate students are motivated and active.
Excellent Job Placement
Each year, essentially 100% of our
graduates seeking professional
positions find great jobs. That’s due to
our excellent programs, faculty and
reputation among employers, and to
the demand for health care workers.
