Located in the heart of the commercial and cultural capital of the nation, the College is part of The City University of New York-an institution noted for its commitment to both open admissions and academic excellence. BMCC views its primary mission as one of providing general and career education services relevant to the needs, interests, and aspirations of its stu dent body. The College prepares its students to enter the mainstream of the life of the City. It offers education to inculcate the skills needed for upward career mobility, and to promote the intellectual growth which is part of an individual's self-realization. The faculty are dedicated to these ends; beyond the classroom, counselors, librarians and tutors support their efforts. The curriculum of the College reflects its mission. Each program of study, which may be completed in two years, leads to an Associate's degree Associate in Arts, Associate in Science or Associate in Applied Science. Ca reer programs in business and health prepare students for the employment market; cooperative education internships provide work experience over and above the students' formal training. The liberal arts program stresses prepa ration for transfer to a senior college, and also provides the general educa tion component of career curricula. Remedial and developmental courses are available for students needing improvement in the basic skills which underlie academic achievement. Courses are offered in both Fall and Spring semes ters, and in a Summer Session. A program in Continuing Education serves a wide range of persons-of all ages, backgrounds, previous education-across the Borough of Manhattan. BMCC, which currently enrolls some 9,000 students, is preparing to move from its present quarters to a new campus in lower Manhattan. Comple- tion of construction on the new site, near Chambers Street and the West Side Highway, is expected in December, 1982. Classes are held from 8:00 a.m. to 9:35 p.m. Monday through Friday, and from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on Saturday. A student may register for either day or evening classes. PROGRAMS The College offers programs in business, health, and the liberal arts. In the liberal arts, concentrations in addition to the Liberal Arts-Transfer program include Business Administration-Transfer, Dance, Fine Arts, Govern ment Administration, Music-Performing Arts, Physical Education, Recreation Leadership, Social Service, and Urban Studies.
