General Education Requirement Supplement

SPECIAL CATALOG NOTE

SUNY/SCCC GENERAL EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS


Explanation: The State University of New York (SUNY) and Suffolk County Community College (SCCC) both require successful completion of core courses that meet General Education requirements. Although the requirements for SUNY and SCCC are similar, some differences between them exist. It is important to understand these differences.

Students intending to transfer from SCCC to another SUNY school for a bachelor's degree are expected to meet SUNY General Education requirements.

Students not intending to transfer to a SUNY school, or students not intending to continue beyond an Associate's degree need only fulfill SCCC General Education requirements. These circumstances do not preclude students from meeting the SUNY requirements. Students whose plans remain open are encouraged to complete the SUNY requirements because doing so will provide greater flexibility in exercising future options.

SUNY CORE GENERAL EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS


Introduction: All baccalaureate degree candidates at any college in the State University of New York (SUNY) system must complete a 30 credit-hour General Education requirement. Students must take at least one approved course in each of the ten areas identified below. Students at Suffolk County Community College who plan to transfer to a SUNY four-year institution are expected to complete a minimum of 21 credits (7 courses) of the SUNY general education course requirements. Students are strongly advised to satisfy the full 30-credit requirement prior to transfer.
