About this School
Syracuse University (SU) is a private research university located in Syracuse, New York. The University is set on a mostly residential campus, which features an eclectic mix of buildings, ranging from nineteenth-century Romanesque structures to contemporary buildings designed by renowned architects such as I.M. Pei. The center of campus, with its grass quadrangle, landscaped walkways, and outdoor sculptures offers students the amenities of a traditional college experience. At the same time, since the university overlooks downtown Syracuse, students can enjoy the social, cultural, and recreational opportunities of a medium-sized city. The school also owns a Sheraton Hotel and a golf course near campus, as well as properties in New York City, Washington, D.C. and a 30 acre (121,000 m²) conference center in the Adirondack Mountains of Upstate New York. Officially chartered in 1870, Syracuse traces its institutional roots back to 1832 when it was founded as a seminary by the Methodists. Syracuse University’s undergraduate and graduate programs are highly regarded. The university is especially well known for its programs in the fields of public affairs, communications, creative writing, architecture and information studies. The university had a total 2005-2006 enrollment of 18,734 students: 12,905 undergraduates, 5,067 graduates, and 762 law students. Recently, 3 undergraduate students achieved national recognition by their selection as a Rhodes Scholar, Truman Scholar and Goldwater Scholar. Syracuse University is one of only 8 institutions in the country whose students have won all three of these honors in one year.
