A College ofState the State University of York New York College of the theof State University of New New AAACollege of University of A College the State University of York New College of the State University of New York York We’re Here for You—and Your Success. “ Everyone I met was searching for something; some already knew what they were looking for while others hoped they would find it during their stay there. College wasn’t just full of classes —it was a class in itself. ” — Vladimir Neykov, digital artist, from Bulgaria “ I loved (my) classes and I learned so much from them.… Faculty members…remain very important in my life. When I was feeling down or when I was feeling lost, (they) were always there for me. We also had a lot of fun together, whether we went on a trip or attended a party! Without (them), I don’t think I would be where I am today. ” — Naomi Osawa, graduate with a Political Science degree from SUNY Binghamton, from Japan At FM we are committed to helping you reach your educational goals. We do this by creating an informal but respectful relationship between students and teachers, a relationship that promotes both learning and personal adjustment to a new environment. Teaching and advising are our most important activities. We are a small institution and you will be treated as an individual, benefiting from a student/faculty ration of 20 to 1. Nearly 150 international students, representing 20 countries, are enrolled annually, making up five percent of the college population. You Can Get There from Here: Transferring for a Four-Year Degree. When you graduate, you have the opportunity to pursue a Bachelor’s degree at an almost unlimited choice of institutions. Students have continued their studies at universities within New York State, such as The State University of New York at Albany, SUNY Plattsburgh, Syracuse University, City University of New York (CUNY) and many others, as well as colleges out of the state, such as Florida State University or the University at Berkley. English as a Second Language (ESL). FM offers a full-time Intensive English Language Program for students who need to improve their language ability before beginning a college degree or certificate program. The program is also intended for those who want to study English for career or social purposes before returning to their countries. Students receive 20 to 25 hours of instruction each week. On arrival, a free English placement exam is given to determine the level of English study you will need. Combined ESL and Degree Program Admission. If you intend to continue studies on the FM campus after ESL study, single admission can be granted for the English Language Program and an academic degree or certificate program. Admission as a full-time student to an academic program is contingent on the successful completion of the ESL Program. The required TOEFL score of 61 on the internet based test (or 500 on the paper based test) is waived when the dual admission option is chosen and the ESL Program is successfully completed. FM Accreditation. Fulton-Montgomery Community College is a unit of the State University of New York, the largest public university system in the world. It is accredited by the Middle State Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools and its programs are supervised by the New York State Department of Education.

At FM, students are encouraged to discover their individual talents and abilities. In the classroom, you will encounter a disciplined course of study with the support of professors and the camaraderie of peers. You can expect to enjoy learning in a setting that is always challenging but never intimidating. At FM, education is a lesson in interaction, in discovering not what to think, but how to think. Great Location. FM is situated in the small, rural and historic community of Johnstown, New York, approximately 65 km from the state capital, Albany. Upstate location offers a convenient four-hour drive to Montreal, Canada, New York City and Boston. Our beautiful setting offers you a healthy environment for your studies. Four seasons are enjoyed on the campus, with average temperatures of -5C in January and 25C in July. Excellent Facilities. The FM campus includes a classroom building, an extensive library and media center, television production and art studios, a modern gymnasium and athletic facilities, including soccer and baseball fields and official size swimming pool. The college has state-of-the-art computer labs, a professional kitchen, theatre and other teaching and learning facilities. Friendly and Fun. The Student Activities Board plans many campus events, including cultural, social, educational and recreational activities. You may also participate in any of the college’s dozens of clubs and organizations. The campus environment is small and intimate, yet active and spirited. You will have the chance to get involved and make a difference. Besides leaving here with a degree, you will leave with friends. Plenty of Action. Win or lose, there’s nothing like the excitement of a great sporting event to make you feel like part of the team. You can find it all here — at a Raiders basketball game or soccer game, a regional baseball championship or in a wide offering of other sports activities on campus.
