SUNY Erie Community College

Joint Affiliation Programs

Working in conjunction with other accredited New York State institutions of higher education, Erie Community College has created several programs in which the student completes part of the degree mandates at ECC and the remainder at an affiliated school. This may provide substantial cost savings to the student and reduces unneeded duplication of resources by the schools involved.

Currently, ECC offers the following affiliated programs:

• Professional Pilot (Jamestown Community College)
  ECC Contact - Professor John Danna: (716) 851-1360
• Surgical Technology (Niagara County Community College)
  ECC Contact - Professor James Bierl: (716) 851-1531
• Mortuary Science (Simmons Institute, Hudson Valley Community College, or SUNY Canton)
  ECC Contact- Professor John G. Eagan: (716) 851-1083.

Upon successful completion of stipulated work, the affiliated institution will award a degree and the student will be eligible to sit for the appropriate licensure examination.

Each of the institutions awarding mortuary science degrees offers programs with unique completion requirements. The student is strongly advised upon admission to ECC to maintain frequent contact with advisers at the institution where they wish to complete their work to ensure that they are taking the appropriate courses at ECC.
