Overview

You are considered a transfer applicant if you have previously attended any college, university, and/or proprietary school since graduating from high school or secondary school.This applies whether or not you are seeking transfer credit.

Transfer students from CUNY community colleges who have earned an AA or AS degree are admitted to the College, awarded junior status and considered to have satisfied core course requirements. However, depending upon the major selected at Hunter, some students may need more than 60 additional credits in order to complete Hunter’s bachelor’s degree requirements.
