If you enjoy a learning environment with real-time engagement and a small group of peers for in-person interactions, onsite and virtual study groups are for you. SUNY Empire plans to offer 30 onsite and virtual study groups in the Spring 2023 term.  

Study Groups are a mode of study offered both onsite and virtually to small groups of learners. The instructor-led courses provide regular engagement with faculty and peers, giving students more structure with regularly scheduled in-person meetings. Virtual study groups meet using Microsoft Teams. Onsite study groups will be offered at four locations throughout New York: Brooklyn, Hartsdale, Staten Island, and Rochester.   

Students in onsite and virtual study groups have the highest course completion rates among our study modalities at SUNY Empire at 92% and 91%, respectively. Students enrolled in these sections benefit from consistency and real-time learning in a personal and supportive environment.    

Check out a list of onsite and virtual study group sections by visiting our study group and virtual study group webpages.
