The State University of New York, abbreviated SUNY (IPA pronunciation: ['suniː]) is a system of public institutions of higher education in New York, United States. It is the largest comprehensive system of universities, colleges, and community colleges in the United States, with a total enrollment of 413,000 students, plus 1.1 million continuing education students spanning 64 campuses across the state. The SUNY system has 28,000 faculty members and some 6,650 degree and certificate programs overall. SUNY includes many institutions and four University Centers: Albany, Binghamton, Buffalo, and Stony Brook. SUNY's administrative offices are in Albany. ^[1]

The State University of New York was established in 1948 by then-Governor of New York, Thomas E. Dewey, through legislative implementation of recommendations made by the Temporary Commission on the Need for a State University (1946-1948). The Commission was chaired by Owen D. Young, then-Chairman of the General Electric Company. The system was greatly expanded during the administration of Governor Nelson A. Rockefeller, who took a personal interest in design and construction of new SUNY facilities across the state. ^[1]

SUNY comprises all institutions of higher education statewide that are state-supported, with the exception of the institutions that are units of the City University of New York (CUNY). ^[1]
