CampusMany students who started their undergraduate education elsewhere finish their degrees with Empire State College. The college's innovative design provides flexible options that allow facultymentors to work with undergraduate students to design individual degree programs that meet theireducational, career and personal goals. In addition to credit transferred from previous col-lege experience, students very often bring with themlearning gained through training at the workplace, inservice to the military, and other life experiences. The college assesses this knowledge and in manycases awards credit for college-level learning, whichsaves time and money. The college pairs each student with a faculty men -tor who supports that student throughout her or hiscollege career. Students engage in guided independentstudy and coursework onsite at 35 locations acrossthe state, online or a combination of both, which pro-vides the flexibility many modern students demand. Students have the opportunity to enroll at five different times during the year, with four, 15-weekterms beginning in September, November, Januaryand March. The fifth term, in May, features both a15-week and an 8-week option. The college’s School for Graduate Studies, whicheducates students primarily, but not exclusively, online, offers ten master’s degrees and severalgraduate certificate programs.
