Empire State College
features individualized degrees without a pre-structured curriculum;
therefore, students who want to pursue a dual admission agreement should
speak directly with a counselor in NCCC's Counseling Center (G221, Tel:614-6280)
or with a representative from Empire State. Locally, Empire State has
offices in Lockport (434-0272) and in Buffalo (853-7700). |
The following description
regarding individualized degrees and subject areas was taken from the
Empire
State web site: |
Individualized Degrees: Empire State College recognizes
that learning is based on the objectives and needs of each individual
student, that learning occurs outside the classroom and that different
people learn in different ways. The use of individually designed degree
programs actively fosters your participation in planning and designing
your education. With the guidance of a faculty mentor, you can plan
and design a program to meet your personal and professional needs and
goals. |
Subject Areas: Because Empire State College appreciates
that educational needs and interests can vary from person to person,
we do not have a pre-structured curriculum. Instead, we have identified
11 broad academic areas within which you can design studies according
to your interests and in the context of general college expectations
for academic study. You may study traditional subjects in a traditional
manner, or you may design innovative degree programs and incorporate
various nontraditional modes of study. By drawing on a variety of instructional
resources, you may design programs of study not offered at other local
colleges and universities. |
