SUNY Oswego was recognized among top achievers by the Broadcast Education Association (BEA)’s 2024 Recognition of Institutional Excellence in Media, placing at the top of four SUNY schools and in the top five of all New York universities, both public and private, that made the list.

The recognition, released annually since 2022, ranks higher-education institutions based on the past five years of student success in BEA competitions. According to their website, nearly 7,000 student projects from over 300 member institutions globally were submitted in the last five years.

Oswego ranked highest among public schools in New York on the strength of student success, with six students earning BEA recognition in the past year.
