SUNY Canton makes education a hands-on engaging experience to prepare its scholars for careers. The College was originally chartered in 1906 as the first postsecondary, two-year college in New York. In 1987, the State University of New York's Board of Trustees authorized the college's present designation as State University of New York College of Technology at Canton, more commonly known as SUNY Canton.

SUNY Canton offers 31 career-driven bachelor's degrees, 20 associate degrees, 2 one-year professional certificate programs, and 23 online degrees.

Areas of study fall into one of three unique schools:

• The Canino School of Engineering Technology
  
• The School of Business and Liberal Arts
  
• The School of Health, Science and Criminal Justice
  

All academic programs are designed in a ladder curriculum, meaning students who start in a certificate or associate program can apply their first years of study toward their associate or bachelor's degree.
