The text below describes some of the many different ways that a given college can design its general education requirements. The CUNY Office of Academic Affairs greatly appreciates the assistance of the campuses in helping to identify many of these possibilities.
Work is under way on the phase of work on the Pathways initiative, in which the first three to six courses that lead into the largest transfer majors at CUNY will be established. Please find below the latest updates from faculty committees charged with focusing on the following majors.
