Degree & Learning Options

Open Educational Resources

Courses with Open Education Resources (OER) provide students with the option to cut costs dramatically without sacrificing the quality of their education. A low-cost OER course ensures materials will not exceed $50 for a given class. The zero-cost OER option facilitates access to free course materials, eliminating the necessity of purchasing textbooks and multimedia components. To learn more about OER courses, please visit the webpage.

Professional Licensure Disclosure

Effective July 1, 2024, federal regulation required institutions of higher education to make a determination whether a Title IV eligible academic program that leads to professional licensure or certification meets the educational requirements for licensure/certification in the U.S. State where the institution is located and the U.S. States where “distance education” students are located at the time of initial enrollment in the program, as well as U.S. States where the program is advertised as meeting such
requirements, and if applicable, the U.S. State where students attest they intend to be licensed/certified.

The SUNY Niagara programs listed below are registered by the New York State Education Department and thus meet the educational requirements for licensure/certification for New York State. Through a good faith effort, and for the purpose of complying with the federal regulation, we have determined that the following programs at SUNY Niagara meet the educational requirements for licensure/certification in the additional listed states; however, it is important to note that SUNY Niagara is not the licensure/certification authority in these U.S. States and cannot assess whether an individual candidate will be issued a license/certificate in these U.S. States. It is incumbent on each individual candidate to contact the licensure/certification authority in the applicable U.S. State for any further guidance on the requirements for licensure/certification requirements and application processes.

Note that SUNY Niagara has established a location policy. Students who may be impacted by this professional licensure disclosure policy are encouraged to review and adhere to the location policy. It can be found at this link.

Biotechnology

What is an A.S Degree?

Associate in Science (A.S.), like the A.A., may also serve as a transfer degree. Many students will earn their A.S. and then transfer to a four-year college or university to complete a bachelor’s degree. However, unlike the A.A. that focuses on liberal arts-based education, the A.S. focuses on the sciences.

What is an A.A.S. degree?

Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S.) is almost always designated as an occupational degree and is designed to help students prepare for a specific trade or occupation.

Culinary students

What is a certificate?

A Certificate is a one-year program generally requiring about 30 to 32 credits.  Upon completion, a Certificate can prepare students for a trade or occupation.  Often, Certificate courses equal the first year of a related Associate degree.
