No more than two courses in any discipline or interdisciplinary field. Students who entered Queens College in the Fall 2013 semester or later must satisfy a set of General Education requirements called Pathways. The Pathways framework has three parts: the Required Core, the Flexible Core, and the College Option. While the Required Core and Flexible Core are common to all CUNY colleges, the College Option is required only at the senior colleges, including Queens. College Option requirements are structured differently from senior college to senior college. It is possible to transfer college option credits previously completed at another CUNY senior college to QC, but once you enroll at Queens, all your remaining College Option credits must be completed by taking designated courses in residence at Queens College.

Some courses can be used to satisfy one of several different Pathways requirements, but taking a single course will never satisfy more than a single Pathways requirement. The Academic Advising Center (Kiely 217) will help you make sure that the courses you take get assigned to the various Pathways requirements in an optimal way.

As part of your general education requirements you must also complete two Writing Intensive courses (courses with a “W” in their course number), which may overlap with courses taken for Pathways or Major requirements. To avoid the need to take extra courses, students should plan their course of study at Queens College in a way that maximizes this overlap. Students who transfer from institutions that do not indicate writing-intensive courses on the transcript should make sure they receive credit for having completed the proper number of W courses. Contact the Advising Center (Kiely 217) if there are problems.
