I'm thinking about applying to SUNY Albany and want to explore the majors they offer. Are there any unique or particularly strong programs that I should know about as I'm considering my options?
SUNY Albany (officially known as The University at Albany, SUNY) offers more than 50 undergraduate majors spanning the fields of arts and humanities, social sciences, natural and physical sciences, engineering and applied sciences, and business. You'll be able to tailor your studies based on your academic interests and professional goals.
Some well-regarded programs include:
- Business Administration: The School of Business is AACSB-accredited, a prestigious label that is held by only 5% of business schools worldwide. The program revolves around a core curriculum that covers the areas of accounting, finance, marketing, management, information technology management, and business law.
- Criminal Justice: This program provides an interdisciplinary approach, offering the opportunity to study the entire criminal justice process, from law creation, to enforcement, to processing and punishment. A strong internship program increases the real-world applicability of this major.

- Public Health: The School of Public Health offers numerous opportunities for hands-on experience with internships and co-op placements, and has received accreditation from the Council on Education for Public Health.
