SUNY Adirondack is a public community college in Queensbury, New York. It serves residents in Warren, Washington and northern Saratoga counties in New York State with over 30 academic programs of study. It was founded in 1961 as Adirondack Community College (ACC). Bachelor's and master's degree programs became available with the opening of the SUNY at Plattsburgh Queensbury Branch on the SUNY Adirondack campus. It adopted its present name on March 1, 2010.
At just $10,363/year after aid and a median debt of only $8,494 at graduation, this is one of the most affordable paths into higher education you'll find — a smart starting point for students in the Warren and Saratoga County area looking to minimize financial risk. The concern worth flagging is the median earnings figure of $36,000 ten years out, which is modest and likely reflects the community college transfer population rather than a strong career earnings trajectory on its own. Worth considering if your plan is to complete two years here affordably and transfer to a four-year school, but go in with a clear next step — this works best as a launching pad, not a final destination.
