STEM majors are allowed to replace either one TALA or one social science requirement with a STEM variant course.
This program has a CUNY STEM Waiver to specific particular courses students must complete in the areas of the General Education Requirements (Mathematical and Quantitative Reasoning, Life and Physical Sciences, Scientific World and College Option). If students take different courses in these areas, they will be certified as having completed the requirements, but it may not be possible for them to finish their degree program within the regular number of credits.
18-21 credits required for the Major also satisfy general education requirements.
