CUNY Baccalaureate
Campus Coordinator: Mr. Octavio Melendez

The CUNY BA/BS Program is a university-wide alternate degree program intended for self-directed, academically strong students who have well-formulated academic and career goals. Students may be able to earn up to 30 credits for non-classroom work, and half of these may be awarded for prior experiential learning. Although students in the program are matriculated at one CUNY college, they are free to take courses at any of the other CUNY colleges. Students who are admitted to the program develop an individualized area of specialization with guidance from a CUNY faculty mentor and also complete the program's liberal arts core and other degree requirements. To be eligible, students must have a clear academic goal and must have completed at least 15 college credits with a GPA of 2.50 or higher. The CUNY BA and BS degrees are fully accredited and are awarded by The City University of New York rather than by an individual college. The program operates under the auspices of the CUNY Graduate School and University Center.
