About
Think Wide Open
Located just 35 miles north of NYC, our campus sits on 500 acres of fields and forests in suburban Westchester County. We combine rigorous coursework in the liberal arts and sciences with world-class conservatory programs in the visual and performing arts.
Way More Than a Motto
We live on a collaborative and sustainable campus, and we work to create the kind of society we want to see in the world. We respect others, ourselves, and our surroundings as we grow into the people who will make real change someday. We’re inclusive, LGBTQ-welcoming, and part of the SUNY family.
Purchase people are passionate—about everything. Globally, locally, and personally. We’re the dreamers, the DIYers, the future of arts and culture, of the humanities and the sciences.
If you stand out, this is where you’ll fit in.
