Sometimes knowledge doesn’t fit into categories. That’s why Empire State College, State University of New York, has a different approach to getting a bachelor’s or master’s degree.
One of the unique features of studying at the college is the opportunity to design a degree program based on your individual goals. You can design a degree tailored to fit your educational interests without having to negotiate between rigid departments or structured majors. You can build a degree that’s individualized, or you can take the more traditional approach.
The degree planning process starts with an important course called Educational Planning. You and your faculty mentor will work together to tailor a degree that fits your needs and meets SUNY’s general education requirements. During this course, you’ll consider your personal, professional and educational goals, assess your preparation for college and define what you’ve already learned and how to apply it to your degree. You’ll select a sequence of studies that’s academically sound and that will help you achieve your goals.
The college provides a flexible way to learn for adults who have many responsibilities. You can complete your degree totally online or through guided independent study at one of the 34 locations across New York state. Through a combination of online and onsite study, study groups, residencies and internships, you build credit toward your unique degree.
