SUNY Empire State
speciality: Education

Overall I had a positive experience with this university. It is a great option for busy working adults and parents. There are different types of courses to choose from, based on your learning style. You can work one-on-one through video chat with a professor who will help you set learning goals throughout the course, and work with you to find ways to meet these learning goals through projects and real life experiences. For those who learn best in group settings, you can choose courses that allow you to meet up on campus with other students to learn together. For those who learn best independently, or are too busy to keep a set schedule, there are courses which provide resources and allow you to read and complete assignments on your own time. I found these courses especially useful because I could log in and do my schoolwork whenever it was convenient for me. There were no zoom meetings, or requirements to be on campus. I will say this required a lot of self-discipline, and there were times when I needed help from a professor and they took a long time to get back to me. These were the drawbacks of the online learning courses I chose to take, but I would say the benefits outweighed the negatives. Once I got the hang of this type of learning I did very well in my courses and I’m proud to say I graduated with my bachelors degree in education.
