The following applies to all students who enter Hunter College either as freshmen or transfer students as of fall 2016: To obtain a Bachelor of Arts degree, students must have a minimum of ninety (90) credits in courses that are classified as Liberal Arts & Sciences courses. For a Bachelor of Science degree, a minimum of sixty (60) credits must be earned in courses that are classified as Liberal Arts & Sciences. Credits taken at Hunter or credits transferred in are subject to this requirement, which is based on a New York State law. While most courses offered at Hunter will be Liberal Arts & Sciences courses, several academic programs offer a number of courses which do not count as Liberal Arts & Sciences. To make sure that your courses follow the New York State guidelines, you must see an adviser if you have many credits or are majoring in any one of the following programs. This is especially important if you transfer courses in these fields to Hunter (their status may depend on the school where you took them):
Art & Art History (Studio Art)
Economics (Accounting)
Community Health
Computer Science
Dance
Education
Film and Media Studies
Medical Laboratory Sciences
Music
Nursing
Theatre
