AREA OF CONCENTRATION (AOC): 

Proposing Your Area of Concentration / AOC (major)  
This is the course of study you are creating (second page of the application). It’s a proposal/outline for your application. You can adjust it once you’re in the program:

1. Pick a title for the AOC (think of it as the name of the major) you want to study.

2. Pick courses that fit with the title. At least eight courses.

You can see some AOC samples and further directions here:

SUBMIT YOUR CUNY BACCALAUREATE APPLICATION: 

1. Fill out and submit the CUNY BA Application​

After reviewing your application, if you’re considered for the program, you’ll be contacted by CUNY BA for an Admissions Appointment where your road map and future with CUNY BA will be discussed (credits, AOC, essential details). We suggest submitting the application as soon as possible, so the CUNYBA Admissions department can give feedback if needed.

  • ​​Remember to apply to a CUNY college (a different and separate application from CUNYBA) if you’re not already enrolled at one for the Spring 2023 semester.  This will be your home college.
    • You can do both simultaneously as they are different applications and go to different places.
