Degree Students and CUNY Proficiency Requirements

Degree seeking students enrolling at Hunter College must demonstrate proficiency in reading, writing and mathematics at the time of application, as outlined by the City University of New York. Students can demonstrate that they meet the CUNY proficiency skills requirements in reading, writing and mathematics based on SAT, ACT, or NY State Regents test scores. Students may also demonstrate CUNY proficiency requirements based on a bachelor’s degree or higher from an accredited program that is approved by the Office of Admissions. Otherwise, students must take the appropriate CUNY Assessment Test (CAT) to demonstrate proficiency requirements.
