They are now only online. In the early days when they were Regent's College they were the online component of SUNY, but then they broke away and became Excelsior College.

Just a tiny point of distinction, not SUNY, USNY. EC was never part of SUNY.
"[INDENT][/INDENT]A key former initiative of USNY, created to better bring higher education to New York State's nontraditional adult learners, was the Regents College external degree program, now the separate and independent Excelsior College. This program was an outgrowth of the practice of giving World War II veterans school and college credit in recognition of their military education and experience. In 1963 the Regents introduced College Proficiency Examinations (now called Regents College Examinations), initially to help teachers and nurses complete educational requirements. The Regents External Degree program was established in 1971 with financial support from the Ford and Carnegie Foundations. Degrees could be granted based on a combination of college proficiency exams and classroom and correspondence courses, or on a variety of exams alone (including nursing lab). The first degrees were conferred in 1972. This program, named Regents College in 1984, became independent of the Education Department in 1991 but continued to be governed by the Board of Regents until 1998 when it severed its relationship with the Board of Regents to become a private college. The school adopted the name Excelsior College in 2001. Excelsior College is now a constituent member of USNY in the same way that other colleges and universities in New York State are, but it has had its own charter and Board of Trustees."
