PATHWAYS DESIGNATIONS & WAIVERS

Once a student has met a Common Core requirement at one CUNY
college, that requirement will be met at any other CUNY college. Your
previous CUNY school designates the course towards a specific requirement
by assigning a “Requirement Designation” on your Transfer Credit Report.

Non-CUNY transfer students have their “Requirement Designation”
determined at Baruch by the Transfer Center.

Students who transfer to Baruch with an Associate’s of Arts (AA) or
Associate’s of Science (AS) degree will satisfy both the Required Core and
Flexible Core of the Pathways curriculum.

Students who transfer to Baruch with an Associates of Applied Arts (AAS)
degree may still need to satisfy areas of the Required and Flexible Core. AAS
students must review their “Requirement Designations” for each requirement.
