Military Training
The knowledge you gained in the military extends to all fields of life. That is why you’re easily able to get credit for your service when you attend Empire State University. Save time, reduce costs, and get the most out of your hard-earned experience.
Did You Know?

Learning Never Stops
You have forged your own path in the military. A SUNY Empire degree allows you to
continue down any path you choose, working at your pace in an environment that’s comfortable
for you.
With the end of my military career in sight, I wanted to get a degree, so that
I can teach Jr. ROTC to young people, help them to develop and have a positive impact
on their minds.
