History

Prior to 2023, the college's teams were known as the "Dutchmen" and "Dutchwomen." The nickname was changed to "Garnet Chargers" as part of a branding update. Garnet has been the school's official color for 150 years, and the name "Chargers" is a reference to "Schenectady’s legacy as a leader in electrical technologies."

Affiliation

The Garnet Chargers compete in the NCAA Division III and are members of the Liberty League for all sports except ice hockey, which competes in NCAA Division I as a member of ECAC Hockey.
