BARUCH COLLEGE–CUNY’s new Transfer Initiative is set to launch in fall 2025 and aims to reorganize the transfer process across CUNY’s 25 campuses.
This reform, a response to the frequent issue of credit loss during transfers, will ensure students do not lose credits toward their major when moving between schools.
The initiative is expected to streamline the process, making higher education more accessible, affordable and convenient for students across New York City.
Endorsed by CUNY’s Board of Trustees in 2023, it focuses on standardizing coursework and ensuring that credits earned in the first half of a student’s major transfer seamlessly.
With an average savings of $1,220 in excess credits, the new system is designed to reduce wasted time and expenses for students, allowing them to progress more efficiently toward their degrees.
