ESC Area of Study Guidelines
Empire State College Area of Study Guidelines explain the types of learning expected for broad areas of study and specific concentrations within those areas. They help you decide what to include in your degree.
Guidelines are intentionally broad; you do not have to have a direct, one-to-one correspondence between each guideline statement and each course in your degree. You can address guidelines through prior learning assessment, or by explaining how multiple sources of learning provide certain knowledge.
Use the guidelines when you write your rationale essay, to explain how you've gained or intend to gain the knowledge they identify.
