Transfer from CUNY College to Baruch College

I'm currently at another CUNY school and thinking about transferring to Baruch College. What's the process like for internal CUNY transfers? Any specific GPA or credit requirements I should know about?

The process of transferring between CUNY schools, like transferring to Baruch College, is relatively streamlined due to the CUNY internal transfer process. Typically, you'll need to complete an online application from the CUNY website specifically for intra-CUNY transfers.

Transfer applications are generally reviewed based on your high school and college records. They will look at factors such as the strength of the courses you've taken and your performance in these courses, represented by your GPA. While Baruch doesn't have a published minimum GPA for transfer applicants, it is a competitive program, so having a solid GPA will definitely be beneficial. Keep in mind, this also varies by the program you're applying to within Baruch.

In terms of credit requirements, you do need to be mindful of their residency requirements. To earn a degree from Baruch College, you must complete a certain portion of your credits at Baruch. For instance, if you're aiming for a Bachelor's degree, a minimum of 30 credits must be completed through courses offered by Baruch.

Also, remember to work closely with the advisors at both your current college and at Baruch to ensure that your credits will transfer properly and you're meeting all necessary requirements. Universities often have credit equivalency databases, which can help you predict how many of your credits will transfer.

Hope this helps and best of luck with your transfer application!
