Curriculum and requirements
SUNY Adirondack's Individual Studies program supports topics not in our offered degrees. 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.
