History & Fun Facts

•Unusual for the time, the school was co-educational, and within its first 20 years enrolled its first African-American and Native American students.
•From its founding as a select school, the institution received a charter as Alfred Academy from the New York State Board of Regents in 1842.
•In 1908, the New York State Legislature approved the formation of the New York College of Agriculture at Alfred University.
•That college became autonomous in 1941 as a junior college, and, in 1948, became a member of the State University of New York system.
