On SUNY campuses throughout the state you will find Educational Opportunity Programs (EOP) serving  thousands of students. EOP is designed to admit students who do not meet the traditional standards for admissions but possess the desire, potential and talent to earn a college degree. Students admitted through EOP must demonstrate both financial and academic disadvantages. 

At Oneonta, a student admitted through EOP receives individualized  attention and services throughout his/her college career. The Oneonta EOP staff provides academic advisement, counseling, academic support services, instruction, leadership opportunities and help with planning for life after Oneonta. EOP professionals take pride in assisting students academically, professionally, socially, and personally to become competitive and successful in a demanding and diverse society.

MISSION

The mission of the Educational Opportunity Program at Oneonta is to provide  leadership, guidance, support, and services that present  opportunities and options encouraging and  promoting holistic, individual development for students and campus constituencies along with an ongoing commitment to program  advocacy.
