FEIT Seminars
|
|
A Feit seminar brings together two or more instructors from different departments in the college and a select group of no more than 20 students to study important themes and issues not ordinarily covered in the standard Baruch curriculum. Forums for creativity and intellectual daring, Feit Seminars are also just plain fun. Students in these classes get to know each other and their teachers well; they make life-long friendships and find professors who will be mentors and resources throughout their careers.

Liberal Arts and Sciences Ad Hoc Major
|
|
When a student’s educational objectives cannot be fully attained solely by study
within an existing department, program, or school, he or she is given the option
of devising an ad hoc pattern of courses in an area of concentration of his or her
own choosing. A student may embark upon an arts and sciences ad hoc major following
preparation and formal acceptance of a proposal outlining the area of study, the desired
outcomes, and the educational values of the program. Arts and sciences ad hoc majors have been devised by students interested in majoring in area studies, children’s studies, fine and performing arts, modern languages, the natural sciences, and religion and culture.
Each ad hoc major must be
approved by the chairpersons of the appropriate departments and the Office of
the Dean of Liberal Arts and Sciences.

CUNY BA

The CUNY BA/BS provides students with a flexible, academically challenging
way to earn their degrees while giving them a major share of the responsibility
for the content of that degree.
The program has three goals:
- encourage students to take advantage of the extraordinary resources and learning opportunities available at the City University's seventeen colleges and at The Graduate School
- allow self-directed, academically able students to design individualized programs of study that complement their academic, professional, and personal goals
- foster intellectual exploration and responsible educational innovation
