What is the CUNY Baccalaureate for Unique and Interdisciplinary Studies (CUNY BA)? 
CUNY Baccalaureate (CUNY BA) has been around for over 50 years! It offers highly motivated students with unique academic and career goals the opportunity to design unique Areas of Concentration (AOCs) in collaboration with CUNY faculty mentors. (You get to design a unique bachelor’s degree in CUNY!) 

CUNY BA is an interdisciplinary studies program within the CUNY system. Students choose courses from different CUNY departments and campuses to earn a bachelor’s degree. Attend the info session to learn more about the process. 
CUNY BA is for students who want to design a bachelor’s degree (Area of Concentration|AOC) that is not already offered in CUNY (minimum 120 credits). As part of the CUNY BA application, students propose what they want to study and what CUNY courses they think are suitable for the bachelor’s degree they are creating (it’s a first draft). 

At the CUNY BA information session, you will get an overview of the program, including: 
~ Benefits of the CUNY BA program 
~ How CUNY BA works and the application process 
~ Tips on finding CUNY courses for your Area of Concentration (AOC; CUNY BA’s version of a major) 
~ Students propose what they want to study in the CUNY BA Application (Name and list of courses) 
~ The Role of the CUNY BA Faculty Mentor 
~ Question and answer session at the end 

Create Unique Degrees Like:
~ Game Production
~ New Content Creation and Entrepreneurship
~ Health and Exercise Science
~ Financial Technology
~  AND MORE ...
