Community College and Academic Partnerships

SUNY Empire has developed Pathways Transfer Agreements with all of the community colleges across SUNY and CUNY, as well as many from outside of New York State.  These agreements state that SUNY Empire will accept A.A., A.S., and A.A.S. degrees in full transfer (up to 79 lower-division credits).  What follows is a listing of articulation agreements with the partner community colleges, along with transfer guides and sample degree plans for selected academic programs.  

For more information, please contact Dr. Brian Goodale, in the Office of Academic Effectiveness at (518) 587-2100 ext. 2580, or at Brian.Goodale@sunyempire.edu.
