In December 1998, the Board of Trustees of the State University of New York established a General Education requirement for all students studying for bachelor’s degrees who enter SUNY in the fall, 2000 semester or thereafter. Morrisville students who intend to transfer after graduation to a bachelor degree program need to plan their Morrisville course of study to meet part of this general education requirement and facilitate their transfer.
The requirements establish 10 content areas and three competencies that must be met by students receiving a bachelor’s degree within the SUNY system. Students in most programs leading to the associate of arts or associate of science degrees who intend to transfer to bachelor degree programs will work with their advisors to complete the course work in at least seven of the 10 content areas. (Some AA and AS programs may have an exemption for one or more of the 10 content areas. Students should consult with their academic advisors for details pertaining to their particular degree program.) Students in programs leading to associate of applied science degrees who intend to transfer to another SUNY institution should likewise work with their advisors to complete as many of the areas as possible.
Listed are the Morrisville State College courses that have been approved as fulfilling each of 10 content areas. Students should consult their academic advisors or school office about courses that may have been added to this list after the catalog went to press.
