    The Collegian program enables accomplished high school students to enroll in college classes taught during the day – at their own high school by selected high school faculty – and earn college credit for those classes.

    The Early College program allows students to complete all or some of their remaining high school graduation requirements at SUNY Ulster. Home-schooled students can build SUNY Ulster coursework into an approved Individual Home Instruction Plan (IHIP).

      Make college work for you

      College is not a one size fit all - you can make it work for you & we’re here to help you find your best fit

      I work during the day. How do I balance work & school?

      As a busy working professional and volunteer, I’ve benefited from SUNY Ulster’s flexible scheduling and variety of class types. By graduation, I will have taken day and evening classes, as well as on-campus, online, and hybrid classes. The ability to choose courses that fit my schedule has been invaluable

      No one in my family has ever gone to college. How do I get help?

      Since I was the first in my family to attend college, the higher education system was foreign to me and my family. I received tremendous support at SUNY Ulster. Not only did Ulster challenge me intellectually, but gave me the foundation I needed to succeed throughout my educational career.

      What if I don’t know what I want to study?

      My son found his passion for history at SUNY Ulster through the dedication and inspiration of professors who inspired and motivated him. They do much more than teach; they lit a spark in Vencenzo that led him to find his career path.
