CANTON -- SR Education Group says SUNY Canton's four-year bachelor's degrees in finance and legal studies are among the most affordable online programs in the U.S, according to SUNY Canton. SR Education Group is an organization that advocates for accessible higher education, SUNY Canton said.

The college’s legal studies program, which was launched in 2006, was ranked 16th on the list. Students in the program have the opportunity to intern with law firms, courts, public defenders and district attorneys. Program graduates either attend law school or begin their careers working for law offices, government agencies or court facilities, SUNY Canton said.

The four-year bachelor's degree in finance, which was ranked 17th, allows students to develop knowledge of banking, financial markets, insurance, and financial planning and forecasting and use this knowledge to start or continue careers in these fields. Seniors in the program can take advantage of internship opportunities to build practical skills and establish industry connections, according to SUNY Canton.

"Students in our undergraduate four-year Finance and Legal Studies programs receive a quality and flexible course of study to prepare them for careers in each field," SUNY Canton's School of Business and Liberal Arts dean Jondavid S. DeLong said. "The recognized affordability of the programs relative to others like them makes them even more attractive to students and their families."
