Utica University's history reaches back to the 1930s when Syracuse University operated extension courses in the Utica, N.Y. area.
Utica was established thanks to the efforts of business and community leaders in the Mohawk Valley who saw a need for such an institution. In 1946, Syracuse University launched Utica University. Originally, the school was located in a section of downtown Utica known as Oneida Square. In 1961, the school moved to its current site off of Burrstone Road.
Utica College Becomes a University
In 2022 we became one of the first private colleges in New York to be granted university status by the New York State Board of Regents, elevating Utica College to Utica University.
Much more than a name change, our transition to Utica University represents the culmination of our decades-long commitment to academic excellence and innovation, strategic growth, and the goal of providing broader access to the full promise of higher education.
Located in the heart of Central New York, Utica University is a comprehensive, independent, private institution founded in 1946 as Utica College. We offer many of the advantages of a large university, such as undergraduate and graduate degree options, excellent academic programs, and outstanding faculty, but with an intimacy and a high degree of personal attention more closely associated with smaller private institutions.
Our mission rests upon a foundation of values that guide our decisions and actions:
