At Empire, everyone I encountered, from my advisor to my instructors, cared about my reality and me. I didn’t get the sense that I was just another number. For me, that is the difference between somebody quitting and someone making the mark”

about the college
Empire State College is known for its leadership in educating adult learners. Our Center for Distance Learning (CDL) allows you to take courses or earn your degree completely online.
How does it work?
A professor, known as a faculty mentor, will support you every step of the way, from assisting you as you design your degree, to graduation. Most of our students have work, family and community obligations, so they appreciate the freedom and flexibility of online learning.
Whether you’re on the road or just looking to learn from the comfort of your own home, busy, working adults are increasingly turning to web based learning for a quality education that fits into their lives.
The Center for Distance Learning also has partnerships with every branch of the military, and with several corporations. Looking to further your education with a master’s degree? Our Center for Graduate Programs blends online courses with residencies – periodic meetings where students network and meet their mentors and peers face-to-face.
