Administrative History
Chapter 478 of the Laws of 1944 authorized the State Education Department to create institutes for the purpose of providing education and training for men and women in arts, crafts, subprofessions, and technologies including agriculture, retail business management, and aeronautics.
Chapter 443 of the Laws of 1946 subsequently provided for the establishment of five state institutes of applied arts and sciences in the cities of Binghamton, Buffalo, New York City, White Plains, and Utica. The institutes were established on an experimental basis for a period to terminate in 1951.
