Onondaga Community College is a two-year college, originally founded in 1961, with two locations: a 280-acre main campus in Syracuse, New York, and a nearby satellite location in Liverpool, New York. OCC operates under the State University of New York (SUNY) system and is locally sponsored by Onondaga County. We pride ourselves on offering a quality education at an affordable price, and are the first public college in the nation to partner with Barnes & Noble College on the "Box of Books" program, which provides students with flat-rate, predictable pricing for textbooks and technology. Helping students succeed is a key element of our long-term goal outline, known as Lazer Focus, and our partnership with Achieving the Dream, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping all students succeed, regardless of income or race Our commitment to sustainability, environmental responsibility, and keeping central New York a beautiful place to live has earned recognition as one of "The 10 Best Green Schools in America 2018" by The Knowledge Review, a "Green College" by the Princeton Review, and a "Cool School" by the Sierra Club.
