The 5 big questions you're probably asking yourself about college... and how SUNY Empire IS your answer
Can I do it online?
They don’t call us “SUNY’s leading online university” for nothing. All of our graduate programs can be done online.
At SUNY Empire, we’ve been pioneering online education since 1995, and we never stopped innovating.
Our online education comes with some key benefits:
- Flexibility

- The ability to learn on your terms
- It’s easier to take classes while working full time
If you want the flexibility and convenience of online education, you’re in the right place.
Is college worth it these days?
Let’s be honest. College can be expensive. On top of that, a degree isn’t a 100% guarantee to a successful career anymore.
This means you need to be intentional with your higher education.
At SUNY Empire, we make sure you get the most value for your degree. Our tuition costs a fraction of what you would pay at public institutions.
We also offer:
- Lots of options for financial aid
- Flexible transfer credits

All of this saves you money (and time).

Students can access our holistic online student supports anywhere in the world. This includes 24/7 online tutoring, interactive learning tools, online student engagement programs, career programming, basic-needs outreach, and free and confidential mental health counseling for all students.
Here are some more ways we support you:
- Mentorship: Every degree-seeking student gets a mentor. Your mentor is a trusted advisor who helps you along your journey.
- Opportunity Programs: We have seven opportunity programs that promote equity, inclusion and success for all.
