Enjoy Phoenix
October 14, 2011
These heavy handed negative reviews are ridiculous and probably written mostly by salespeople hoping students will go to some rip off for profit school. After 2 1/2 years at Empire I've seen the best and the worst, the worst experiences I've had at ESC involved disappearing or apathetic instructors and that can happen anywhere. ESC is a great school for the motivated, adult learner. Unbelievably fair tuition, most credits will transfer throughout the SUNY system. ...
Online courses were challenging
December 13, 2010
I took courses at ESC online and in person in New York City to complete my degree, which I had started 25 years ago. I was very impressed (and challenged) by the rigor of the online history courses. They involved lively discussion (via discussion board posts) alot of reading and alot of writing. I got A's in everything, but I worked hard to get them, and I would NOT in any way consider these courses ...
Adjuncts
October 4, 2010
When reviewing colleges based on tenured professors it's imperative to note enrollment has skyrocketed in colleges, especially at community and state level. It's a given an adult oriented college would be flooded with applicants. Most colleges have been hiring adjuncts, judging one college over another because of that necessity isn't reasonable. Especially when judging an institution with an open policy or geared to adults. In this climate it would hardly be ethical for ESC to ...
Intense, but I love it!
April 21, 2010
As a non-traditional learner, I can say that SUNY Empire State College (ESC) is steadily helping me to reach my goals. ESC differs in approach to learning and administration because it serves seasoned adults, not post-high school teens. Personally, I thrive on the sense of independence and am satisfied with my highly educated and available mentor. So far, each of my instructors online have been excellent, including many who are also in good standing as ...
Degree planning course
April 9, 2010
It's true you have to take a 2 credit degree planning course. I took mine immediately so I wouldn't waste time or money. It's an excellent course and the credits are applied to the degree. Empire caters to adult students who often have very specific needs. Students are given the opportuniy to design their own degree, within SUNY and Empire guidelines. The purpose of the course is to design the degree and then justify it, ...
It's an adult school
February 17, 2010
SUNY Empire is an excellent school for the money and convenience. I noticed most of the negative reviews focused on lack of attention. I think they may have missed a main point of ESC, it's a school for busy, working adults. They have plenty of support available but not the kind of guidance found in community colleges or schools catering to inexperienced youths. This makes an Empire education and student as valuable or more so ...
ESC- The good, the bad and the ugly
January 5, 2010
I am completing a Bachelor of Arts in Cultural Studies. I am currently taking my final two classes. I have taken all of my classes online so I can't speak for the on-ground or hybrid options. The Good- The fact that this is an online program has afforded me the opportunity to finish a degree that I would not have had the time to complete otherwise. The cost is VERY affordable, even cheap in comparison ...
