ESF is authorized by the New York State Department of Education to offer undergraduate and graduate degree programs as described in this catalog. A comprehensive list of degree programs is provided below.

The Higher Education General Information Survey (HEGIS) code is the number assigned to programs registered by the commissioner of the New York State Department of Education. The Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP) Code allows the U.S. Department of Education to track educational programs for financial aid eligibility. Enrollment in programs that are not registered or otherwise approved may jeopardize a student’s eligibility for certain financial aid programs.
