Erie Community College, State University of New York

Coordinated Studies Programs are classes that are linked during an academic term, around an interdisciplinary theme, and enroll a common cohort of students. Erie Community College offers Coordinated Studies Programs to first year full time General Studies students undecided of a specific educational program and interested in exploring career options. The program provides students with opportunities to explore, experience and assess career options within one of our college academic divisions: Allied Health, Business and Public Service or Engineering and Technology. Students enrolled in our programs enjoy enhanced academic and social opportunities, satisfactory GPAs, improved connections to faculty, and increased understanding of their abilities and interests in the targeted careers. The Coordinated Studies Program is funded by the Perkins III grant and supported by the Liberal Arts division.
