The College’s History

Cazenovia College was founded in 1824 as the Seminary of the Genesee Conference, the second Methodist seminary to be established in the United States. It opened in what had been the Madison County Courthouse as a non-sectarian coeducational institution. Among the distinguished alumni of the early years was California Governor Leland Stanford, who was also president of the Central Pacific Railroad, and founded and endowed Stanford University of California. Distinguished graduates include Jesse Truesdell Peck, founder and first president of the board of trustees at Syracuse University; and Charles Dudley Warner, editor of the Hartford (Conn.) Courant and close friend of Mark Twain. Over the years the seminary changed its name several times, becoming Cazenovia Seminary in 1894. Between 1904 and 1931 the institution also functioned as a secondary school for young people from the township, an arrangement that ended when Cazenovia Central High School was built. In the 1940s, the trustees decided to add a junior college. The Methodist Church sponsorship ended and community leaders formed a new board of trustees for Cazenovia Junior College.

When the College received accreditation in 1961 from the Middle States Association of Schools and Colleges, it dropped the “Junior” and became Cazenovia College for Women. In 1982 the College returned to coeducation and became Cazenovia College. In 1988, the New York State Board of Regents awarded Cazenovia College the right to offer baccalaureate degrees.
