Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Unsubst". Template:Use American English The New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University[1] (NYSCC) is a statutory college of the State University of New York located on the campus of Alfred University in Alfred, New York. There are a total of 616 students, including 536 undergraduates and 80 graduates.[2]

History

The college was founded by an act signed into law on April 11, 1900, by Governor Theodore Roosevelt, establishing the New York State School of Clay-Working and Ceramics.[3] This move by Alfred University to petition the New York State legislature in 1899 followed a period of crisis at the university starting in 1895, which was facing low enrollments, mounting deficits, and the recent resignation of then-president A.E. Main (1893–95). The trustees, with support from area businesses and alumni, recognized the trends in higher education toward applied sciences and technology and supported the decision to petition the legislature.[4]

Charles Fergus Binns, a British ceramist, served as the first director of the school, after completing a career at Royal Worcester Porcelain Works. In 1932 it was renamed the New York State College of Ceramics (NYSCC) with two departments, General Technology and Engineering and Applied Art.[3] The college is presently composed of the School of Art and Design, the Inamori School of Engineering[3] and the Samuel R. Scholes Library. The college also houses the Inamori Museum of Fine Ceramics, one of two such collections in the world focused on technical ceramics and glass.

The Inamori School of Engineering at Alfred University offers programs in ceramics, glass, biomaterials, and materials science engineering. In addition, the programs in mechanical engineering and renewable energy engineering are offered through Alfred University, the private institution with which the NYSCC is affiliated. The School of Engineering is one of only two institutions in the U.S. that offers a B.S. in Ceramic Engineering and the only institution in the U.S. that offers degrees in glass science.
