After [[World War II]], Syracuse University transformed into a major research institution. Enrollment increased in the four years after the war due to the [[G.I. Bill]], which paid tuition, room, board, and a small allowance for veterans returning from World War II.<ref name="GI Bill exhibit" /> In 1946, the University admitted 9,464 freshmen, nearly four times greater than the previous incoming class.<ref name="SU1931" /> Branch campuses were established in [[Endicott, New York]], and [[Utica, New York]], which became [[Binghamton University]] and [[Utica University]] respectively.

By the end of the 1950s, Syracuse ranked twelfth nationally in terms of the amount of its sponsored research, and it had over four hundred professors and graduate students engaging in that investigation.{{sfn|Greene|Baron|1996}} From the early 1950s through the 1960s, Syracuse University added programs and staff that continued the transformation of the school into a research university. In 1954, Arthur Phillips was recruited from [[Massachusetts Institute of Technology|MIT]] and started the first [[pathogen]]-free animal research laboratory. The lab focused on studying medical problems using animal models. The School of Social Work, which eventually merged into the College of Human Ecology, was founded in 1956.<ref name="Syracuse University History, 1951–1960" /> Syracuse's [[Syracuse University College of Engineering and Computer Science|College of Engineering]] also founded the nation's second-oldest computer engineering and bioengineering programs. In 1962, [[Samuel Irving Newhouse Sr.]] donated $15&nbsp;million to begin construction of a school of communications, eventually known as the [[S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications]]. In 1966, Syracuse University was admitted to the [[Association of American Universities]].<ref name="Syracuse University History, 1961–1970" />
