Admission Process
There are no applications. Students who fulfill all requirements stated above will automatically be reviewed for admission approximately 2-3 weeks after the semester ends.
In order to be considered for admission, students must have an intended BBA plan (major) on their CUNYfirst record prior to completing all eligibility requirements. Students can check their CUNYfirst Student Center (click “My Academics”) to see if their plan (major) is correct. If a student's current program plan on record is not an intended BBA plan, they must make sure to submit an intended major change form to the Registrar's Office before the semester ends, otherwise the student's admission into Zicklin will be delayed.
