We've got what you need

Map of NY with OCC marked

Located in Syracuse, OCC is in the heart of CNY. Truthfully? We're a bit different than the city, but let us show off our favorite things about the area and our school. 

Natural Beauty

It's a nature-lover's paradise here. Check out the unique glacial lakes at Green Lakes State Park or hop on a bike trail along the Erie Canal. There's nothing quite like fall in CNY.

Culinary Hot Spot

Syracuse is a sanctuary city, so there is cuisine from all over the world available right here. Did we mention we invented salt potatoes and chicken riggies? Not to brag, but we've been featured on Food Network over 9 times.

Shopping & Entertainment

Aside from the attractions and major stores in Destiny USA (the largest mall in NYS), there are plenty of local gems to check out from plant stores and record shops to music venues.

We're not your average community college. You'll get the full experience here whether you are an athlete, musician, scholar, artist, volunteer, or more. See what we offer. 

Check out our campus! From the state-of-the-art facilities to the arena to the bookstore, we've got all the amenities.

You'll need a place to stay, that's why we've got you covered with 4 residence halls with all of the amenities you need like shared lounges, kitchens, laundry and more. There are plenty of perks to ResLife — take a look!

 

We have over 45 degree programs and 30 of those are direct-to-career so you can jump into a job in 2 years or less!
