The Queens College Core and CUNY Pathways
Starting Fall 2013, incoming students will follow a new liberal arts curriculum designed to meet the requirements of the CUNY Pathways Initiative. We call this new curriculum the QC Core. Pathways is the new transfer system for all CUNY colleges, which includes the Required Core, Flexible Core and College Option. Through Pathways, you can transfer your credits seamlessly from one CUNY college to another.
