Al.3 Memorandum of Understanding for the NYCCT Academic Cluster in Gender & Sexuality Studies with the CUNY BA Program Code: n/a Effective Date: Fall 2020
Memo of Understanding (MOU) (Articulation Agreement Equivalent for Option/Academic Cluster Programs) A. SENDING AND LEARNING INSTITUTIONS: Sending Institution: New York City College of Technology (NYCCT), City University of New York Discipline/Program: 36 Credit Offering Option/Academic Cluster Offering in Gender & Sexuality Studies Primary Department: Department of English Interdisciplinary Collaborations: Department of Health and Human Services, Department of Humanities, Department of African American Studies, Department of Social Science
Receiving Institution: CUNY Baccalaureate for Unique and Interdisciplinary Studies (CUNY BA) Degree(s): Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science Discipline: Gender & Sexuality Studies
B. CUNY BA OVERVIEW CUNY Baccalaureate for Unique and Interdisciplinary Studies (CUNY BA) is a CUNY-wide program offering Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degrees. Students working with faculty members develop an individualized course of study typically interdisciplinary in content, with courses from various departments and different CUNY colleges.
AREAS OF CONCENTRATION: Courses designated as required for the individualized area concentration (the major) are from senior colleges and, typically, from departments that offer a Bachelor’s degree in that field of study. If, however, unique courses are in departments not offering a Bachelor’s Studies—and these are particularly pertinent to the student’s area of concentration, then such courses, if approved by the student’s faculty mentor and the CUNY BA academic director, may be used to partially fulfill the requirement.
DESCRIPTION OF CUNY BA PROGRAM IN GENDER & SEXUALITY STUDIES (Undergraduate Program in LGBTQ Studies):
“The City University of New York is committed to engaging [and exploring] historic changes [within and related to the LGBTQ community] by offering students the opportunity to develop careers in this dynamic and emerging field of inquiry. Through the CUNY Baccalaureate for Unique and Interdisciplinary Studies, students can receive an individualized degree specifically in LGBTQ Studies. Working closely with a mentor and drawing on the wide areas of faculty expertise in LGBTQ Studies across CUNY campuses, students can now develop an academic path that prepares them to contribute to LGBTQ progress in the world.” —CUNY BA Website
Additional information about the program can be found at the following CUNY website: https://cunyba.cuny.edu/about-us/
Participating CUNY campuses include: Brooklyn College, York College, Hunter College, College of Staten Island, Lehman College, Queens College, New York City College of Technology
C. CUNY BA ADMISSION CRITERIA AND RESPONSIBILITIES: Students may be accepted into the CUNY Baccalaureate program with as few as 12 college credits, and s/he must be matriculated at a CUNY college.
If a student is presently at a CUNY college and meets the criteria for admissions, s/he may remain at that college or transfer to another CUNY college (Home College). The student’s academic program is maintained at CUNY BA (not at the Home College), and the degree is awarded through the City University of New York. Nonetheless, Home Colleges receive graduation credits, and participating students receive alumni status at their Home Colleges.
D. ADVISING/MENTORING:
The Home College supports the CUNY BA student with course registration (including e-permit), financial aid, and extra-curricular activities. Home Colleges do not mentor CUNY BA students. Students have at least one faculty mentor, who may or may not be at the Home College, and they have advisors at CUNY BA as well as access to the Academic Director.
CUNY BA STUDENTS: During the registration and advising process, CUNY BA students will meet with their advisors/mentors to determine which of the courses within the NYCCT English Department’s Option/Academic Cluster in Gender & Sexuality Studies (given the course and subject matter) satisfy the requirements for the CUNY BA Degree in LGBTQ Studies.
NYCCT STUDENTS: NYCCT students interested in the CUNY BA Program in LGBTQ Studies must take at least half of their area of concentration (major) courses as a CUNY BA student. Prospective students must meet with their faculty advisors/mentors to determine which of the courses (at NYCCT and other senior schools) satisfy the requirements for the CUNY Baccalaureate Degree. All CUNY BA students must have at least an overall 2.5 GPA and at least a 2.5 GPA in their area(s) of concentration.
E. PROGRAM: OPTION/ACADEMIC CLUSTER IN GENDER & SEXUALITY STUDIES (12 Credit Cluster w/ 36 Credit Offering)
