Some programs, like those in liberal arts and sciences, are offered at nearly all of the colleges. Other programs, like most of those in the engineering, architecture, and technology areas, are offered at only a few of our colleges. The diversity and availability of all of these programs are captured in the Program Descriptions section, and on the individual college pages . Students are advised to read both sections so that the program specialization, requirements, and admission criteria, which sometimes differ from school to school, will be clear when they are choosing an undergraduate program. The network of colleges and programs at the City University offers students great academic and career flexibility.
Some students find it helpful to enroll directly into a baccalaureate degree program.
Others choose to complete the first two years at a community or technical college where they receive an associate's degree, and then either transfer to a senior college to pursue a baccalaureate degree or begin working in their chosen area. Students who earn an associate's degree at CUNY and who then choose to pursue a baccalaureate are guaranteed admission to a CUNY senior college, although not necessarily into the program or college of their choice. How to Choose Programs Study the program descriptions of CUNY undergraduate program offerings. Many programs are available at more than one college. You will also find a day and an evening code number next to each college offering the program.
