The State University of New York at Farmingdale is a public college in East Farmingdale, New York, United States. It is part of the State University of New York. The college was chartered in 1912 as a school of applied agriculture under the name of "New York State School Of Agriculture on Long Island".
The numbers tell a mostly encouraging story here: at just $9,173/year average net price and a median debt of only $11,000 at graduation, this Long Island public college is one of the more affordable paths to a $55,800 median salary 10 years out. That said, the 57% graduation rate is worth a honest conversation — more than 4 in 10 students who start here don't finish, which is a real concern regardless of the reasons behind it. Worth considering if you're drawn to applied, career-focused programs and are confident you'll stay the course, but come in with a clear plan and use every support resource available.
