While many in the Hudson Valley have long recognized that SUNY New Paltz is a high-quality educational institution, it is also becoming increasingly more apparent that the college's social and economic impact on the Hudson Valley and the state of New York is enormous.

With nearly 8,000 students on 257 acres, our geographic location is stunning in its natural beauty, located in the heart of a dynamic college town, only ninety minutes from metropolitan NYC.

In keeping with the tradition of the nation's great public universities, SUNY New Paltz is linked to the health and vitality of the region, state and nation through the education of its citizens.

This Web site highlights our 2007 Economic Impact Study, which illustrates how the college serves as an economic, cultural and intellectual hub that directly and indirectly affects every resident of the state.
