New York Public Two-Year CollegesJunior Colleges, Technical Institutes, and SchoolsThe State of New York administers its own system of higher education which operate at least two tiers of public colleges. One being the community colleges in New York, sometimes called New York junior colleges, or New YTI Career Institutes, and so-called "four-year" New York colleges which award bachelor's and master's degrees. The "two-year" community educational institutions provide post-secondary education and lower-level tertiary education, granting certificates, diplomas, and associate's degrees in New York. The name, "community colleges" derives from the fact that "two-year" colleges primarily accept, and attract, students from the New York local community
New York was one of the last states to implement a community college system and even today, there is not a single statewide system but two. The two public systems of higher education are the State University of New York (SUNY) with 30 community colleges and the City University of New York (CUNY) with six community colleges. The first comprehensive community colleges were established upstate in the early 1950s although there were two-year agricultural/technical schools established early in the century. By 1960, there were 18 community colleges and five two-year agricultural technology colleges in the SUNY system and three community colleges in the CUNY system, serving different boroughs of New York City. Over the next 30 years, 12 additional community colleges with various county sponsors were organized under SUNY, and three additional colleges were created as part of the CUNY system.
