SUNY Sullivan is a public community college in Loch Sheldrake, New York. It was founded in 1962 and is part of the State University of New York (SUNY) system and funded in part by Sullivan County, New York. It is accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education. The campus moved from its original campus at the old South Fallsburgh High School in South Fallsburg in 1973.
The college offers 40 degree and certificate programs in career and transfer program areas.
SUNY Sullivan is situated on 405acres of land and its campus features nine interconnected buildings plus the Paul Gerry Fieldhouse, the Lazarus I. Levine Residence Hall, and the EcoGreen Townhouses.[5] A geothermal system provides heat and air conditioning for the campus.[6] Sustainability is an important part of SUNY Sullivan's mission, and is reflected across campus via an organic farm in partnership with New Hope Community,[7] a composting program, community gardens, a nine-acre solar field, and an apiary.[8]
The college's 12 intercollegiate sports teams compete in Division II (Varsity and JV teams) and Division III in the NJCAA.
