Empire State is primarily oriented towards the adult learner.[2] Many of the undergraduate degrees offered by Empire State College are "individualized" as opposed to the more traditional degree programs.[3] The college offers flexible programs, including distance education, extensive transfers of credits from other universities, knowledge gained through independent studies, standardized evaluations, and the opportunity to design one's own degree with an academic advisor or mentor.

International students pay the same tuition fees when studying online as in-state students. The Center for Distance Learning is available for students throughout the world, who can earn an undergraduate degree completely online.

Empire State College's Center for International Programs also has special programs for students in Lebanon, Czech Republic, and Greece. It also has arranged learning opportunities with United Auto Workers-Ford, United Steelworkers of America, Corporate Noncredit Training, eArmyU, Navy College Program and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (Local Union #3).
