Binghamton University and SUNY Upstate Look to Create Synergy

Binghamton.edu
Binghamton University and SUNY Upstate Medical University have entered an articulation agreement that brings about benefits to both institutions in new ways along with an understanding for shared course offerings in the schools’ neuroscience graduate programs.

The agreement will allow a Binghamton University student who shows exceptional skills to be automatically admitted into SUNY Upstate Medical’s Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) program, and reserves, at minimum, one slot per year for an exceptional student to enroll in SUNY Upstate Medical University’s College of Graduate Studies to pursue a PhD in the biomedical sciences. The agreement will also allow both institutions to expand and diversify their curriculums in the neurosciences through the use of video-conferencing technology.

The institutions say they are exploring additional research partnerships in both cancer research and the neurosciences in hopes of helping each other make advancements. Binghamton President C. Peter Magrath stated, “One focus of our strategic plan is increased activity in the health and natural sciences, and this synergistic partnership in research and teaching is a win-win that will enrich the offerings available to our students.”
