The new Golisano Institute for Business & Entrepreneurship in Rochester is partnering with Syracuse University’s College of Professional Studies to offer its two-year certificate program graduates the option to pursue a bachelor’s degree.
Golisano graduates can earn the degree at a reduced per credit rate equivalent to the total cost of a Golisano education, per the announcement.
The Golisano Institute says it provides a tailored two-year certificate program aimed at “making a premier business education accessible for all.” The institute will open this fall to welcome its first class of students. Entrepreneur and philanthropist Tom Golisano founded and fully funded the institute.

The first partnership of its kind for both institutions is creating a path from a professional certificate program into transfer credits that will directly apply up to 48 credits toward a choice of four Syracuse University bachelor’s programs: creative leadership, business management, knowledge management, and liberal studies.
“Our partnership with the Golisano Institute reaffirms our commitment to providing access to Syracuse University for non-traditional students who want to transform their lives and their communities through education,” Michael Frasciello, dean of the College of Professional Studies, said. “The content and quality of the Institute’s program aligns perfectly with the market-sensitivity and rigor of our online undergraduate degrees. The entrepreneurial and progressive missions of our institutions make this partnership immediately impactful and relevant.”
