Reference: SUNY-Purchase College
Purchase College, founded in 1967 as part of the State University of New York system, was the fulfillment of Governor Nelson Rockefeller's vision to create a learning community which combined professional conservatory programs in the performing and visual arts with rigorous studies in the liberal arts and sciences. This vision continues to be the guiding force in our quest to provide an exceptional educational experience. Purchase College is dedicated to academic excellence in the arts and the liberal arts, to the enrichment and nurturing of its students and to providing access to cultural and recreational opportunities for its neighbors.
