1 This program has received a waiver to require students to take MTH 30 or MTH 31 to fulfill Required Core Area B, PHY 31 to fulfill Required Core Area C, PHY 32 to fulfill Flexible Area E and CHM 11 to fulfill the 6th Flexible Area course.
Note that MTH 30 is a prerequisite to MTH 31. If students transferring into this program complete different courses in these areas, they will be certified as having completed the Common Core requirements, but it may not be possible for them to finish their degree within the regular number (60) of credits.
2In choosing courses to fulfill Pathways Flexible Core requirements for Areas A, B, C, and D, students are strongly advised to select courses from no fewer than three (3) different departments.
3 Select from the following:
• CHM 12 General Chemistry II (4 Credits) or CHM 22 General Chemistry II with Qualitative Analysis (5 Credits)
• CHM 31 Organic Chemistry I (5 Credits)
• EGR 21 Analysis Tools for Engineers (2 Credits)
• EGR 31 Circuit Analysis (3 Credits)
• ENG 223 Scientific and Technical Writing (3 Credits)
• ENG 96 Digital Systems I (4 Credits)

If you began studying at BCC in or after Fall 2013, Pathways applies.
Pathways also applies to students who have returned to CUNY after an
absence of more than one semester. If you are a continuing student who
entered before Fall 2013, you will be able to choose whether you remain
with your existing requirements or change to Pathways. You should
consult with an academic advisor.
