Hudson Valley Summit

SUNY New Paltz continues to be a central figure in the development of the local Hudson Valley economy. In November 2018, it hosted the latest Hudson Valley Future Summit as regional leaders gathered to discuss future plans for the area, where the university and its students play a major role.

“We have worked to create a model public university and a model civic collaborative, both to enhance the learning experience of our students and to improve quality of life in the Hudson Valley,” said President Donald P. Christian.

He added, “We want to continue building and reinforcing this engagement as a defining and animating ethos in the future of the College and the Hudson Valley.”

English language requirements must be met for international students and can be demonstrated in several ways.

Its English Language Pathway option at the Haggerty English Language program on campus offers conditional admission to both undergraduate and postgraduate students. This means students can be conditionally admitted based on their academics and other application requirements rather than having to take the IELTS or TOEFL tests. The TESOL and English Literature postgraduate programs require IELTS 7 or TOEFL iBt 90, with no conditional admission available for these programs.

Conditionally admitted students then take an English language placement test when they arrive. If students arrive below 6.5 IELTS or 80 TOEFL iBt level, then intensive English courses and Academic English courses (for credit) are provided to prepare them for the rigor of an American university environment. Once they have completed these English courses, students continue with their studies as normal.

Undergraduate students are now required to submit SAT scores for admission, but most postgraduate students will require either the GRE or GMAT exam. MBA students must score either 450 overall on the GMAT or 300 overall on the GRE, whilst the MS Computer Science requires a minimum score of 151 on the quantitive section of the GRE. MS Engineering students require 156 on the same section. Students should check specific international admissions requirements for their chosen course.
