The State University of New York College of Agriculture and Technology at Cobleskill is a public college in Cobleskill, New York, United States. It is part of the State University of New York (SUNY) system. It began as the Schoharie State School of Agriculture in 1911 and joined the SUNY system in 1916. SUNY Cobleskill is accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education and the New York State Education Department registers all academic programs.

The numbers tell a mixed story here — the affordable net price of $17,980/year and low median debt of $11,000 make this one of the more financially accessible SUNY options, especially for students pursuing hands-on programs in agriculture, culinary, or environmental sciences. However, a 41% graduation rate is a real concern, meaning fewer than half of students who start here finish, which is worth taking seriously before enrolling. Worth considering if you're a focused, career-oriented student who thrives in a small, rural setting and has a clear program in mind — drifting in undecided raises your risk of becoming part of that dropout statistic.
