aBOut ulster COunty COMMunIty COlleGethe College was founded by public referendum in 1961, held its first classes at its kingston temporary campus in 1963, and broke ground at its stone ridge campus in 1965. today, suny ulster is a vital member of the state university of new york (suny), the largest public university system in the world.

through our credit and continuing education classes, we offer a full array of degree, diploma, and certificate programs to help residents upgrade skills, begin rewarding careers, or transfer to four-year colleges. More than 60 percent of suny ulster graduates continue their studies at four-year public and private institutions throughout the state and nation.

the College continues to adapt in an effort to serve county residents. Beginning in 1995, we opened the Business resource Center (BrC), provid-ing a one-stop shop for economic development, training, and education. the BrC also serves as suny ulster’s main off-campus site for credit and continuing education classes. the College also offers classes online.

through the auspices of the ulster Community College Foundation, Inc., the opportunity to attain a higher education is made possible to many members of the community who may not otherwise be able to fully cover the costs of attending college. the Foundation provides more than $180,000 in scholarships annually that include a broad spectrum of academic criteria. the Foundation also sponsors cultural events, funding for technology, and support for academic program enhancements. It is a resource for student emergency grants and loans. Contributors to the Founda-tion include individuals, faculty and staff, alumni, businesses, and organizations throughout the community.

From Catskill’s lofty peaks and vales, from hudson’s noble shores,In search of wisdom’s truth we come to her e’er open doors.

For each to be all that he can, a chance she will provide;For all her teachings shall become a strong and steadfast guide.

For truth from learning we shall seek, and wisdom from the truth.to this, her motto, now we pledge the vigor of our youth.

her colors, blue and white, we raise and hold her banner high.her motto for our future years a meaning shall supply.

For knowledge and for loyalty the sapphire blue shall stand,the white for purity of truth which wisdom must demand.

to alma mater, u tri C, our voices now we raise;In loyalty and love for truth we ever sing her praise!
