Empire State College offers 12 broad areas of study for undergraduate degrees within which you can design a concentration (similar to a major). You will work with your faculty mentor to create a curriculum that meets your educational goals, includes your prior learning and knowledge, and meets Empire State College and State University of New York requirements. This curriculum becomes your personal degree plan and it can be as unique or traditional as you need. (See the college’s AOS website for detailed guidelines.)
