    2 + 2 Degree Map

    The Liberal Arts (LIB) major at BMCC offers the best pathway to transfer to Baruch College and complete the BS degree in Public Affairs.
    The 2 + 2 degree map (2 years at BMCC and then 2 years at Baruch) is a term-by-term sample course schedule designed to make it easier for you to navigate your time at BMCC and then transfer to Baruch College.  This is just an example path from BMCC to Baruch so please consult your academic advisor along with Degreeworks and the CUNY Transfer Explorer tool to make sure you are on track in your major.
