SUNY Canton Makes High Marks in Online Directories and Ranking Services

Published:

New recognition includes degrees targeted toward adult learners and non-traditional students.

SUNY Canton is a smart choice for adult learners according to Abound’s 2021 Top Adult Degree Directory.

College admissions professionals are increasingly recruiting non-traditional students and those who attended college but never completed a degree. In Fall 2020, 31% of degree seeking students at SUNY Canton were age 24 or older. Around 70% of that population study online during a traditional semester.

“Our strength in online programs and flexible learning options are the leading factors non-traditional college students choose SUNY Canton,” said Melissa J. Evans, executive director of enrollment. “We are also able to walk people through the process of applying to college whether they’ve been away for a few months or 10 years.”
