Earned Associate Degree: 6 College Option credits required

Earned 30 or Fewer Credits: 12 College Option credits required

CUNY Bachelor's Students pursuing a bachelor's degree at one CUNY college (without transferring):

12 College Option credits required
(specified by their college).

12 College Option credits are required; HOWEVER, students can transfer the College Option credits they earn in a bachelor's degree program at one CUNY college toward their College Option requirement at any other CUNY college.

Second Bachelor's Degree Students Students with earned bachelor's degrees from institutions that are accredited and recognized by a regional accrediting U.S. agency, as well as students from international universities with degrees that are equivalent to a baccalaureate degree as determined by CUNY
