"I loved my time at Dutchess Community College and am so grateful for the terrific education I received while attending. A busy public schedule and the demands of family life made attending classes a challenge. Taking Modern American Literature through the SUNY Learning Network was a great opportunity."

Everyone I encountered at Empire, from my advisor to my instructors, cared about my reality and me. I didn't get the sense that I was just another number. For me, that is the difference between somebody quitting and someone making the mark.

It has been a rather interesting experience! Throughout my career as a science educator, I have been an aggressive proponent of inquiry science teaching. One of the major assignments in my course allows the students to DO just that! Online science education can and should involve laboratory and field work. This part of the course has been quite rewarding to the students.”

I took an online class and was really impressed with the structure of the course. Almost everything I learned was new to me, yet I had no problem understanding the material. Online you are given examples, you can email your instructor if you don't understand something, and help lines are also available. It was a very positive learning experience”
