About This School

SUNY Niagara is a public community college in Sanborn, New York. Founded in 1962, SUNY Niagara is sponsored by Niagara County and offers associate degrees as part of the State University of New York system. Dual admissions programs facilitate transfer to four-year colleges upon completion of the two-year degree programs.

Worth considering if you're looking to keep costs low and transfer to a four-year school — at just $7,222/year net price and only $7,070 in median debt at graduation, this is one of the more financially sensible starting points in the SUNY system. The dual admissions transfer programs are a real asset for students with bigger academic goals. That said, median earnings of $36,600 a decade out suggest many graduates aren't stopping here — this school works best as a stepping stone, not a final destination.
