Location The village of Canton is situated in the St. Lawrence Valley near the northern foothills of the Adirondack Mountains and the scenic Thousand Islands. The location is perfect for those who enjoy outdoor ac- tivities, which range from camping, boating and hiking to cross-country and downhill skiing. Lake Placid, site of the 1980 winter Olympics, is less than two hours away and offers a multitude of activities throughout the year. For those who wish to have a more metropolitan experience, Montreal and Ottawa are approximately two hours north across the Canadian border. These two cities provide a variety of attractions for shopping, plays and concerts as well as beautiful parks and recreational facilities. The College is located on the outskirts of the village along the Grasse River, which adds to its beauty and relaxed atmosphere. The village is a short walk from campus and offers several unique shops and restaurants.

Similar to online degrees, pathway programs offer students a possiblity of transferring courses after completion of one or two years at the home institution and then, obtaining a degree from SUNY Canton. The time spent taking classes at SUNY Canton depends on the courses transferred. Additionally, SUNY Canton international programs office offers summer programs and study abroad opportunities.
