About This School

SUNY Orange is a public community college with two campuses, one in Middletown, New York, and one in Newburgh, New York. It is part of the State University of New York (SUNY) system and offers almost 40 associate degrees and certificate programs. SUNY Orange is accredited by Middle States Commission on Higher Education. The college employs an open enrollment policy to all applicants who are graduates of an accredited high school or recipients of a state high school equivalency diploma.

Worth considering if you're looking to keep costs low while staying local — at just $7,442/year after aid and a median debt of only $6,500 at graduation, this school won't leave you buried in loans. The tradeoff is that median earnings sit at $40,100 a decade out, which is modest, so think carefully about which program you choose and whether it ladders into a four-year transfer or a career path with real wage growth in your field.
