Transferring
Credit
Many students applying and admitted to our
program have completed undergraduate coursework outside The City
University of New York. Your best method of determining if a course you
have
taken or are planning on taking will meet our prerequisite requirement
is as
follows. First, ask your advisor
or course instructor if the course will typically transfer to
a four year college. Be sure it will not transfer as elective credits,
but as an equivalent course at a four year college. IF YOU ARE TAKING A
COURSE AT A TWO YEAR COLLEGE IN CUNY, A COURSE
EQUIVALENCY GUIDE IS AVAILABLE ON
THE INTERNET. YOU CAN LOOK UP ANY COURSE AT ANY TWO YEAR CUNY
COLLEGE, AND SEE IF HUNTER WILL ACCEPT THAT
COURSE. THIS COURSE EQUIVALENCY GUIDE IS FOUND AT CUNY Course Equivalency Guide.
We will accept a limited number of advanced placement courses
from high school. For this year, we will accept two to three
courses that are advanced placement, depending upon the subject matter
of the course(s). We will not accept three AP courses that are
all science courses. This policy is subject to change after this
year, based upon our experience.
College credits earned elsewhere may meet their graduation
requirement, but may not necessarily be from accredited
institutions. Be sure all coursework you taken, and your
bachelor's degree, is from an accredited four year institution.
Recently, we have reviewed
transcripts of students who have taken courses outside of the U.S. in
institutions
not accredited. These courses will not be accepted as equivalent
to
Hunter College courses, and will not be accepted as helping to meet the
number
of credits required for earning a bachelor's degree or as counting
toward
our prerequisites. Even if another U.S. college accepts those
credits, Hunter College will not. For example, if you have taken
30 credits abroad
in a non-accredited institution, these credits will not be accepted by
Hunter
as meeting the minimum of 120 credits to have earned a bachelor's
degree,
even if you were granted a bachelor's degree by another college in the
U.S.
Be sure the credentials you are paying for are valid
elsewhere.......
