The College works with SUNYIT to offer students three master's degree programs. SUNY Canton's 14 athletic teams compete as provisional members of the NCAA Division III and the USCAA. == History == Originally founded in 1906 as the School of Agriculture (SOA) at St. Lawrence University, SUNY Canton was the first postsecondary, two-year college in New York authorized by the Legislature. In 1941, SOA was renamed the New York State Agricultural and Technical Institute (ATI). ATI became a member college of the State University of New York in 1948.
