4.0 Intercampus
Collaboration
4.1 Joint academic programs
Important collaborations have evolved from
the University’s participation in jointly-registered programs, continuing
professional education, and distance learning initiatives. These efforts have
involved collaboration to offer Albany’s graduate programs in educational
administration and policy studies, social welfare, and public health through
partnerships with the SUNY campuses at Binghamton, Buffalo, New Paltz, and
Oswego. They have also provided options for undergraduate students looking for
early admission and time-shortened degree programs in law, engineering,
medicine, optometry and dentistry.
Albany is currently exploring combined M.D./M.P.H. degree options with a
number of New York medical schools and a combined J.D./Ph.D. program between
the School of Criminal Justice and a law school. Albany will continue to pursue these collaborative ventures as
and where appropriate opportunities are identified.
Albany has developed and maintains
articulation agreements with 16 two-year public and private institutions
to facilitate efficient transfer to Albany’s baccalaureate programs. These
agreements represent Albany’s commitment to partner with SUNY community
colleges and private institutions in the Capital Region. Albany will update and
maintain existing agreements, and anticipates developing articulation
agreements with, among others, Orange County, Broome, Onondaga, and Mohawk
Valley Community Colleges. In addition to collaboration with
other postsecondary and research institutions, Albany is proud of its
University in the High Schools program, which provides opportunities for high-achieving
high school students to accelerate their baccalaureate programs by earning
advanced college credit. Albany is a leader in Study Abroad
Programs. Albany administers more Study Abroad Programs than any other campus
in the system and gives opportunities to students on its campus, as well as any
other campus in the country, to have a study abroad experience virtually
anywhere in the world. New agreements of collaboration with institutions of
higher education around the world are established every year. This not only
provides unique study abroad opportunities, but also, allows for the continual
visits of foreign scholars and students, thus truly internationalizing the
University’s curriculum and research. Noted area study departments focusing on
East Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean, Eastern Europe and Russia, and
Africa, in combination with the University’s strengths in the social sciences
and professional schools, provide the intellectual foundation for these
initiatives. The University at Albany will continue to show system-wide
leadership in international initiatives and partner with other SUNY campuses in
areas of mutual interest.
