CUNY Pathways A new 30 credit general education Common Core fully transferable across CUNY institutions for A.S. and A.A. programs. Courses included in Core are based on student learning outcomes in 8 broad areas. LM OAA 4/29/13

What is it? Required Core – 12 credits Flexible Core – 18 credits LM OAA 4/29/13

Required Core Area A: English Composition (2 courses) Area B: Mathematics and Quantitative Reasoning (1 course) Area C: Life and Physical Science (1 course) Area A: English Composition (2 courses) Area B: Mathematics and Quantitative Reasoning (1 course) Area C: Life and Physical Science (1 course) LM OAA 4/29/13

Flexible Core (6 courses) Area A: World Cultures and Global Issues Area B: US Experience in its Diversity Area C: Creative Expression Area D: Individual and Society Area E: Scientific World Area A-E: One course from any of the Areas above Area A: World Cultures and Global Issues Area B: US Experience in its Diversity Area C: Creative Expression Area D: Individual and Society Area E: Scientific World Area A-E: One course from any of the Areas above LM OAA 4/29/13

What can students take? A student must take one course from each of the Required and Flexible Areas (Required A is 2 courses). A student can take any course in a Core Area as long as he or she has the prerequisite. Some programs restrict which courses can be taken in the Flexible Core.

Why is this being done? B.I.14 - RESOLUTION ON CREATING AN EFFICIENT TRANSFER SYSTEM “The City University of New York experiences large student transfer flows among all of its undergraduate colleges. To enhance transfer students’ progress toward degree completion, CUNY must insure that students’ credits earned from any CUNY college transfer smoothly and efficiently to all other CUNY colleges. …” B.I.14 - RESOLUTION ON CREATING AN EFFICIENT TRANSFER SYSTEM “The City University of New York experiences large student transfer flows among all of its undergraduate colleges.
