Pathways for the Associate in Applied Science (AAS) Student

Pathways for the Associate in Applied Science (AAS) Student

Although specific requirements vary by degree program, all CUNY AAS students must complete approximately 21 credits of Common Core courses. If an AAS student later transfers to an AA, AS, or bachelor's degree program, that student will need to complete any part of the Common Core that has not yet been completed.

AAS students are urged to consult with their academic advisor during registration to ensure that the liberal arts courses that they take are drawn from the list of Common Core courses.
