The School of Management gets good marks in the New York City area but only there; outside of NY, no one knows about it and no one seems to want to. There are much better b-schools are other comparable state unis such as Penn State, Delaware, Indiana, Uconn, UVM, Colorado and Florida, for example, that enjoy greater reputations, especially nationally. However, you need to apply directly to the School of Management if that’s what you’re looking for and the criteria for admission are higher than that for Harpur A&S. If you apply to Harpur and plan to then transfer into the School of Management, you’ll need at least a 3.5 or better since the competition to get into it before junior year is quite stiff, especially from those transferring from other SUNY schools, especially the ones with the two-year degree programs such as Cobleskill and Delhi. Just because you’re already at Binghamton doesn’t mean you’ll get into the School of Management.
