Entering Transfer Students

The number of Pathways courses you will be required to take at Brooklyn College depends on your transfer credit evaluation.

If you have an A.A. or A.S. degree from a domestic college:

You will receive a blanket exemption for the Required Core and Flexible Core areas, and your College Option requirement will be reduced from 12 credits to 6 credits. Furthermore, it's possible you may receive transfer credit for these 6 credits, in which case your Pathways requirements would be complete. However, if you do not receive transfer credits for these 6 credits of College Option, you will need to complete two appropriate College Option courses (6 credits) at Brooklyn College. Please refer to "A Breakdown of Pathways at Brooklyn College," or consult an academic advisor to confirm which College Option courses would be appropriate.

If you have an A.A.S. degree from a domestic college:

Your College Option requirement will be reduced from 12 credits to 6 credits, however you will NOT receive a blanket exemption for the Required Core and Flexible Core areas. Instead, all your transfer credits that are applicable to Pathways will be applied on a course by course basis, and you will need to complete all outstanding Pathways requirements at Brooklyn College. Please meet with an academic advisor to review your remaining Pathways requirements.

If you transfer more than 30 credits with no Associate's degree:

Your College Option requirement will be reduced from 12 credits to 9 credits. All your transfer credits that are applicable to Pathways will be applied on a course by course basis, and you will need to complete all outstanding Pathways requirements at Brooklyn College. Please meet with an academic advisor to review your remaining Pathways requirements.

If you transfer 30 or fewer credits:

All your transfer credits that are applicable to Pathways will be applied on a course by course basis, and you will need to complete all outstanding Pathways requirements at Brooklyn College. Please meet with an academic advisor to review your remaining Pathways requirements.

If you are a Second-Degree Student:

If you have earned a baccalaureate degree from an institution that is accredited and recognized by a regional accrediting U.S. agency, you will receive a blanket exemption for all Pathways requirements. If you have earned a baccalaureate degree from an international university that C.U.N.Y. determines equivalent to a U.S. baccalaureate degree, you will receive a blanket exemption for all Pathways requirements EXCEPT English Composition I (ENGL 1010) and English Composition II (ENGL 1012).

For information on your transfer credit evaluation, contact Transfer Evaluations Office.
