Create your own major in CUNY with CUNY Baccalaureate!

WHAT IS CUNY BACCALAUREATE (CUNY BA)?
CUNY BA is an Interdisciplinary Studies program that works within the CUNY system. It has been around for over fifty years! CUNY BA is for students who want to design a bachelor’s degree (Area of Concentration|AOC) that is not already offered in CUNY. CUNY BA students take courses in the CUNY departments and/or colleges to fulfill the AOC requirements. So, students will have to be enrolled in a CUNY college to be part of the CUNY BA program (that will be the student’s home college).  
For Example: A student in CUNYBA would not create an Area of Concentration (AOC) that is just “Computer Science” (since Computer Science is already offered as a traditional major in a CUNY college). Instead, they would create a single AOC named “Computer Science and Cyber Security” or study two disciplines separately and have two AOCs, such as
AOC 1: Computer Science   AOC 2: Cyber Security and Mathematics.  

CUNY BA Virtual information sessions give an overview of the program. This includes:

• Application process (no fee to apply), you can start at a CUNY Community College (2-year college) 
• Tips on finding courses for your Area of Concentration (AOC; CUNY BA’s version of a major) 
• The role of the CUNY BA Faculty Mentor 
• Benefits of the CUNY BA Program
