With a modern campus set in the beautiful, rolling hills of upstate New York, students are provided with varied housing options on-campus, as well as off-campus housing in both fraternities and sororities. Project-based learning is the cornerstone of Alfred State culture, providing students with work on real-world problems, and promotes a "how to think, not what to think" philosophy; as a result, Alfred State has a 99% employment and transfer rate. This college, formerly the Technical College at Alfred, now grants baccalaureate degrees in 19 areas, associate degrees in 50 areas, as well as a number of certificates; fully accredited through the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools and is a member of the Rochester Area Colleges consortium along with Alfred University, the University of Rochester, Rochester Institute of Technology, Saint John Fisher College, Roberts Wesleyan College, Nazareth College, Monroe Community College, SUNY Brockport, and SUNY Geneseo. Full-time (12+ credit hours) students may cross-register at Alfred University to supplement their education with classes not offered at Alfred State at no additional cost. == History == Both Alfred University and Alfred State have their roots in an early teaching college called the Alfred Select School. The school was visionary in its equal opportunity policy. In 1908 President (Boothe C. Davis ) of Alfred University persuaded the New York State legislature to locate the New York State School of Agriculture at the Alfred University Campus; the resulting allocation of $75,000 for three buildings, a farm, livestock, and machinery would set plans for the school in motion. In 1941 the school was given Junior College status, and renamed the New York State Agricultural and Technical College at Alfred. In 1948 the enrollment grew to such large numbers that the state government decided to allow it room to expand, moving the school across Main street from Alfred University, where it remains today. In addition to a new campus would come greater autonomy, meaning that Alfred would now have two state-funded schools and one private university. As of today, Alfred State SUNY School of Technology is a senior college. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alfred State College」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
