Pathways General Education Requirements

The new General Education Requirement at City College, and all of CUNY, is called Pathways. It provides a set of requirements that every student who enters City starting in Fall 2013 must complete to earn a degree.

Pathways General Education Requirements at City College consist of:

I.

Common Core (30 credits)

• Required (Fixed) Common Core (12 credits / 4 courses)
• Flexible Common Core (18 credits / 6 courses )

II. College Option (12 credits / 4 courses)

Because many Common Core courses can simultaneously count toward the satisfaction of major requirements for specific majors, student who have chosen or have a specific major in mind, should consult with an advisor to see which Common Core choices will help them complete their degrees most efficiently.
