SUNY Broome’s Bachelor’s Degree Partnership Program has officially partnered with SUNY Empire State College to provide its graduates with another path to obtain a bachelor’s degree.
After 27 years of partnering with Excelsior College, the Partnership Program is excited to now offer SUNY Broome graduates more options for bachelor’s degrees, courses in different modes of study, and guided mentorship through SUNY Empire State College. Graduates can choose a pathway to a bachelor’s degree through Excelsior College or SUNY Empire State College and receive advising and enrollment assistance on the SUNY Broome campus. The Partnership program permits students to complete additional credits at SUNY Broome prior to transferring to one of the online four-year schools.
SUNY Empire State College offers bachelor’s degrees in a wide range of fields, including business, science, technology and math, educational studies, community and human services, historical studies, and public affairs. Within these areas of study, students can compose individualized degree programs or tailor coursework to their needs. Study options at SUNY Empire include online courses, guided independent studies, study groups, residencies, and the option to take courses at other institutions. Adult students who have achieved college level learning outside of the classroom via professional, community, or business experiences can apply for college credit through the prior learning assessment process.
