While CUNY BA students are eligible to take courses in almost all schools and departments across the CUNY campuses, there are a few exceptions which applicants and currents students should be aware of. Often, these schools or departments have admissions criteria above and beyond those of the college or are restricted to students who are enrolled in their degree programs. Below is a list of schools and departments where we are aware this is the case. If you receive conflicting information or believe we should add to the list please email general@cunyba.cuny.edu.
