Part III: The College Option (1-4 courses)
The College Option at Baruch
The College Option consists of as many as four courses, depending on how much coursework the student has completed at another institution. The following table explains the College Option (COPT) requirements for students, based on their entering status.
Baruch Freshmen | 12 COPT credits |
Students transferring from an Associate Degree Program to Baruch (including non-CUNY regionally accredited colleges) |
|
Students transferring from a CUNY Bachelor’s Degree Program to Baruch
|
12 COPT credits are required; HOWEVER, any COPT credits completed at and/or received upon transfer to the previous CUNY campus will transfer to Baruch with the designation. Students who have remaining COPT requirements begin taking courses at the top of the relevant Baruch COPT course list. | |
Students transferring from a Non-CUNY Bachelor’s Degree Program to Baruch | 12 COPT credits |
Second Bachelor’s Degree Students Students with earned bachelor’s degrees from institutions that are accredited and recognized by a regional accrediting U.S. agency, as well as students from international universities with degrees that are equivalent to a baccalaureate degree as determined by CUNY | No COPT credits are required |
Students who transfer multiple times * |
| 6, 9, or 12 COPT credits |
|
12 COPT credits; |
HOWEVER, any COPT credits completed at and/or received upon transfer to another CUNY senior college will transfer to Baruch with the designation. Students who have remaining College Option requirements begin taking courses at the top of the relevant Baruch COPT course list. |
* The College Option requirement for a student who transfers multiple times is determined by the type of program in which he or she first enrolled. A student who begins his or her college career in an associate program, and transfers multiple times will be responsible for a total of 6, 9, or 12 College Option credits depending on the student’s status when they first transferred from the associate program.
There were four distinct College Options for students who began taking classes at Baruch before spring 2015. They were based on whether the student: 1) belonged to the Macaulay Honors College; 2) planned to receive a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree from the Weissman School of Arts and Sciences--the specifics of this option varied according to date of entry (see below); 3) planned to receive Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) degree from the Zicklin School of Business; or 4) planned to receive a Bachelor of Science (BS) degree from the Marxe School of Public and International Affairs--the specifics of this option varied according to date of entry (see below).
As of Spring 2015, Macaulay students retain their distinct College Option, but all other Baruch undergraduates follow the “Baruch College Option.”
