Courses for Transfer to SUNY Colleges and Universities
Students transferring to SUNY four-year institutions are encouraged to successfully complete courses in Basic Communication, Mathematics, at least five of the other eight SUNY General Education Requirement knowledge and skills areas, and the two SUNY General Education Requirement competency areas. The two SUNY General Education Requirement competency areas of Critical Thinking (Reasoning) and Information Management are infused throughout the SUNY General Education program. For optimal transfer students should complete 30 credit hours of general education prior to transferring to an upper-level SUNY institution.
Knowledge and skill areas may also be met by some Advanced Placement (AP), CLEP, International Baccalaureate, or Dantes Examinations. See the Registrar for more information. Students who complete three years of sequential math in high school and score 85 or higher for the third year have met this requirement.
