Virtual Open House, SUNY Optometry at Upstate Medical University

We are excited to invite you to join us for the SUNY Optometry Upstate Virtual Open House on Wednesday, April 29, 2026, at 6:00 PM EST.

During this special event, you will learn more about our new campus in Syracuse, launching in Fall 2027 (pending final MSCHE approval), including the defining features of the Upstate campus. We will share details about the academic program, including our hybrid model designed to maintain strong connectivity between the NYC and Syracuse campuses, as well as student life and the broader vision behind expanding SUNY Optometry beyond New York City.

You will also hear directly from current SUNY Optometry students about their experiences in NYC, including their involvement in piloting select remote learning elements that will be incorporated into the Upstate campus. Their perspective will offer valuable context for what students can expect as part of this innovative model.

We will conclude with practical guidance on building a strong application and an overview of next steps in the admissions process.

We hope you will join us and look forward to connecting with you.
