“Learning is more than the mastery of skills, the accumulation of facts, and the application of memorized responses. Knowledge does not endure unless it is accompanied by intellectual curiosity.

Teaching must encourage independence of thought, personal initiative, the play of memory and imagination— qualities that seed the mind with ideas and lead the student in the joy of self-discovery.”

Peter J. Cayan President

4 General Information The College The State University of New York Institute of Tech- nology at Utica/Rome is a special and, in fact, unique member of the SUNY family. The college has been serving students in its role as the state's only upper-level institu- tion since 1966, when the State University established it as the Upper Division College to meet the needs of transfer and graduate students. In that capacity, the Institute of Technology has been able to offer two-year college gradu- ates and master degree students a support system geared exclusively for their needs and interests. Over the past three decades, students have been the beneficiaries of the expertise of admissions and financial aid professionals who deal daily with the issues of credit transfer and funding possibilities that face students gradu- ating with an associate's degree or transferring from a four-year college. And the record shows the Institute of Technology has become a "crossroads college" for students making critical choices concerning their futures, and the logical next step for those from community and junior colleges, colleges of technology, and other institutions. In addition to the rich human resources the college provides, the Institute of Technology offers students the many assets of the State University system's newest campus. The campus is both spacious and intimate, modern and established. For example, although estab- Consistently students mention small class size and lished in 1966, the $60 million dollar campus complex was individual attention they receive from the college's excep- completed in 1988. tional faculty as the primary factors in their successes at Located on a beautifully-landscaped and scenic 800 the Institute of Technology.

The Museum of Art's galleries feature a world- renowned collection of 18th, 19th and 20th century Euro- pean and American art, as well as numerous exhibitions of paintings, sculpture, graphic arts, and photography. The Munson-Williams-Proctor Institute offers lectures, live performances, film series, and assorted libraries of music, books, and art. Its annual summer festival is nationally prominent and is held in conjunction with a gala celebra- tion in downtown Utica, "The Good Old Summertime Festival." Several other galleries can be found in the area, including the Rutger Street Gallery and Sculpture Space. The Civic Musical Society of Utica maintains the Utica Symphony Orchestra and the Utica Civic Concert Band. Musical performances are also provided each year by the Chamber Music Society, the Great Artists’ Guild, and a number of widely known choral societies. Theatrically, the city offers a wide variety of produc- tions each year. The Player’s Theatre of Utica, one of the first amateur theatrical organizations in the country, performs several dramas, comedies, and musicals each year. Other local organizations also contribute to the year’s productions. The Broadway Theatre League each season brings several major productions touring the na- tion to Utica. These nationally-acclaimed productions are staged in the city’s Stanley Performing Arts Center.

The use of computers is pervasive in today’s world. Advances in technology have reduced the cost and im- proved the performance of computers to such a degree that they are now used in virtually all disciplines and fields of endeavor. Computer scientists are at the center of this transformation. The Institute of Technology recognizes the need for trained professionals in the computer field. Three degree programs provide the flexibility that allows students to position themselves in the field according to their own strengths and interests.

The B.S. Degree in Computer and Information Science The Bachelor of Science program in computer and information science provides a broad education in major areas of the field. The program, which closely follows the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) recommen- dations, gives students the flexibility to concentrate stud- ies according to their interests. It is designed to allow a well-prepared student, entering the SUNY Institute of Technology as a junior, to earn both the B.S. degree and an M.S. degree in computer and information science in three years. Students wishing to complete the M.S. degree in three years should seek advice from faculty members and become aware of faculty research interests as soon as possible.

A total of 33 graduate credit hours are required to complete the M.S. degree. The program requires completion of a thesis or project. Graduate courses require a mathematics background which includes Calculus, Probability and Statistics, Dis- crete Mathematics, and Linear Algebra. An adequately prepared student may take up to two graduate courses while in undergraduate standing and, in some cases, count them toward the M.S. degree program. Please refer to the graduate catalog for general program information and information regarding specific course offerings and pre- requisites in each area. 45 Computer Science

Significant changes are taking place in the health field due to advancing technology, an aging population, innova- tive approaches to the payment for care and a dynamic health care delivery system. Many of these changes are creating excellent opportunities for persons interested in a career in health services management. Graduates of the program have been employed in hospitals, nursing homes, clinics, government, private business and the insurance industry, while others have successfully pursued graduate studies. The health services management program blends busi- ness management with health services management, pre- paring the student to manage programs or facilities in a health environment.

65 Nursing

Improving the nation’s health in the next decade requires increasing the variety of care delivery settings available to the general population. Professional nurses of tomorrow must be prepared today to meet the challenges posed by these enhanced access alternatives. The curricu- lar emphases in baccalaureate nursing programs on health promotion and maintenance behaviors, coordinating cost- effective quality care, and community-based, community focused health care are particularly appropriate to achiev- ing the future’s agenda. It is estimated, however, that the next decade’s demand for baccalaureate-prepared nurses will exceed their availability.

Nursing Program The School of Nursing at the Institute of Technology at Utica/Rome offers a curriculum leading to a Bachelor of Science degree with a major in nursing. The baccalaureate program is designed exclusively to serve licensed regis- tered nurses from state-approved associate or diploma nursing programs who are prepared to focus on their Graduate Study professional and career development. The Institute of Technology further displays its on- Students may attend the Utica/Rome program on a going commitment to meeting the needs of the nursing full-time or part-time basis.

Student Internships Because of the strong research efforts and close ties with industry maintained by photonics faculty, the pro- gram is able to offer quality internship experiences to its students. These opportunities complement classroom in- struction by offering hands-on experience in a “real world” environment. Past internship sponsors include Infrared Components Corporation, Terahertz Technologies, and the Rome Laboratory Photonics Center.

Photonics Advisory Board The photonics advisory board meets once each semes- ter to review the program’s progress and development, insuring that the curriculum is continually updated to reflect the current needs of industry, government, and academic employers. Current members come from the Rome Lab Photonics Center, Kodak, Corning, AT&T Bell Labs, GE Corporate R&D Lab, LaserProbe, Inc., J.A. Optics, Adirondack Laser, Dove Electronics, and the Photonics Development Corporation, among others.

72 Pre-Law Option

The Institute of Technology believes that students obtain the best preparation for law school by enrolling in challenging academic programs that provide rigorous study. This belief is supported by the Law School Admissions Council (LSAC), which recommends that a specialized pre- law curriculum is neither advisable nor advantageous for students who wish to attend law school. The LSAC sug- gests that students pursue academic programs that lead to disciplined habits of study and that provide students with strong reasoning and communication skills. Because no one curriculum provides better preparation than any other, we encourage students to select a major based on their interests and aptitudes. The Institute assists students who plan to attend law school through the pre-law advisory committee. Faculty and staff members from this committee work closely with students to counsel them on course selection and to assist in the law school application process. The Institute pro- vides a resource library and other pertinent materials. Students interested in attending law school after completing their baccalaureate degree studies should no- tify the Admissions Office at the time of their application so that specific information regarding preparation for law school at the Institute of Technology can be shared with them. Students are also encouraged to join the Pre-Law Club as soon as they begin studies at the Institute.

73 Professional and Technical Communication

Professional and technical communication deals with all aspects of communicating technical, business, and scientific information to both professional and general audiences. To meet the need for qualified professionals in this area, the Institute of Technology offers a program that leads to a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree in professional and technical communication. The program stresses tech- nical writing, editing, and oral communication skills. It provides practical, hands-on experience in such areas as Internet publishing, applied writing and speaking, edit- ing, graphic arts, and document design.

Telecommunications includes a broad range of ad- vanced voice, data, and multi-media technologies which in turn require professionals to design, operate, and maintain public and private networks in a very com- petitive environment. The global telecommunications industry is currently valued at more than $1 trillion per year. There is a constant demand for well-trained practitioners of telecommunications; it is a field rich in career opportunities. Several types of professional ca- reers are available. These include telecommunications network operations, telecommunications systems man- agement, public policy, consulting, research and devel- opment, vendor marketing and sales, and technical support.

State University’s 64 geographically dispersed cam- puses bring educational opportunity within commuting distance of virtually all New York citizens and comprise the nation’s largest, centrally managed system of public higher education. When founded in 1948, the University consolidated 29 state-operated, but unaffiliated, institutions. In response to need, the University has grown to a point where its impact is felt educationally, culturally and economically the length and breadth of the state. More than 400,000 students are pursuing traditional study in classrooms or are working at home, at their own pace, through such innovative institutions as Empire State College, whose students follow individualized and often non-traditional paths to a degree. Of the total enroll- ment, approximately 36 percent of the students are 25 years or older, reflecting State University’s services to specific constituencies, such as refresher courses for the professional community, continuing educational opportu- nities for returning service personnel, and personal en- richment for more mature persons.
