Parents | SUNY Fredonia

Dear Parents,
I want to personally welcome you to our web site and attempt to ease some of the anxiety that surrounds the college selection process. As a parent, SUNY Fredonia is an attractive choice because of several issues.

First and foremost, your son or daughter is not a number here. They are taught by a dedicated and talented faculty that takes pride in student success. Our average class size is only 24 students so it is hard for students to hide!

Secondly, our vibrant campus is patrolled by University Police, a state recognized police force that is dedicated to keeping your son or daughter safe. We are located in the Village of Fredonia, a safe community which gives you greater peace of mind.

Lastly, our affordable tuition is thousands less than comparable private institutions. The value you get for your dollar is second to none. Your son or daughter will be challenged academically and, socially, he or she will make friends and have experiences that truly last a lifetime.

I invite you to visit SUNY Fredonia and see for yourself the wonderful experience that awaits your son or daughter.

Sincerely,

Christopher Dearth
Director of Admissions
