Looking to the future

SUNY Adirondack's Individual Studies supports topics not included in our degree programs. Those who started in one direction and now have a new focus, including returning adults and veterans, do well in this program. This also allows students who aren't sure what they're interested in to explore multiple areas of study. This course of study prepares graduates for further education.
