About

History

SUNY Empire was established in 1971 by the SUNY Board of Trustees and then-chancellor and future United States Commissioner of Education Ernest L. Boyer as a pioneering statewide SUNY institution focused on educating students at any stage of life or learning, with faculty mentors working closely with students to design individualized degree programs.

The college continues its commitment to flexible, accessible education with more than 110 online degrees and certificates and locations in every region of the state and seven international sites so SUNY Empire students can pursue their education around the demands of a busy life -- whether online, face-to-face, or a blend of both.

The most exciting time in my life

Review from an international student
Anonymous rated 4 out of 5 stars

I was an international student so I was attending the courses in the campus in Athens. The courses were very interesting and challenging and each course had something new to teach me. I wish I could take more courses.

I double majored in Graphic Design and Advertising, for me the Visual Art and the Communication Art they both complete each other. The experience was amazing, it gave me the chance to enter the job world before I graduate thanks to the good way of educating students and the projects.
