SUNY College at Cortland Rankings by Salary Score™

I have so many positive things to say about this educational institution, The Modern Languages Department, and my specific program: Teaching English as a Second Language. Cortland has provided me with not only the highest quality education, but enriching and meaningful experiences that have helped me get to where I am today. Although the TESOL department is on the smaller side, this ended up being a huge benefit. My major classes enabled me to make authentic connections with my peers and professors. Many of... Read More the same professors teach multiple classes in the program so it was nice to have them again. I genuinely felt respected, acknowledged, and challenged. The upside to smaller institutions is that you definitely don't feel like a "number" or "just another student" sitting in a lecture. I also want to highlight the Study Abroad Office who has done a great job promoting programs abroad. I was able to study abroad the spring semester of my Sophomore year in Mangalore, India and when I came back, I was able to intern with the Study Abroad Office and share my experiences. I'm very grateful to have gotten my education from here, for it has been one of the greatest decisions of my life. I was employed full time right after I graduated and I don't necessarily think that would have happened if I had gotten my education elsewhere. Cortland has prepared me immensely and I still keep in contact with my professors today. 4 years goes by so fast and I would do it all again (if I could).

I absolutely loved and appreciated my time at SUNY Cortland. The people and opportunities brought to me at Cortland were forever life-altering. My favorite and most influential part of my undergraduate experience were the people I met; friends, professors, mentors. I had people guide me every step of the way and help me become the best version of myself. My favorite opportunity brought to me at SUNY Cortland was studying abroad. During my sophomore year, I studied abroad in Australia and it was the most amazing... Read More experience of my life! The employees at the International Programs Office are some of the best around. They are super helpful and will go above and beyond to make your experience amazing. Additionally, I absolutely loved working as a student assistant on campus. I worked alongside these great professionals in the International Programs Office for three years. Although I was a sport management major, this job shaped my passions and aspirations and led me to change my career path. I am now studying higher education, thanks to my lovely coworkers and mentors at the IPO! Cortland is a great school that offers many opportunities at an affordable price. The memories will last a lifetime - you won't regret it!
