General Education:
College Option – Foreign Language and/or Focused Study
1) Students who matriculate with an Associate’s degree must complete 6 credits
of the College Option.
2) The College Option will highlight Hunter College’s commitment to foreign
language and to encouraging students to develop depth in an area outside of the
major (focused study).
3) Students must complete four semesters of a foreign language or demonstrate
equivalent competency as per regulation #1 above. Note: four semesters of a
foreign language must be sequential and in a single language.
4) College Option – Focused Study. Students who need two or more Focused
Study courses must fulfill this requirement by taking two courses at the 200 level
or above in a recognized major, minor, or certificate program outside the
student’s primary major. Students who need only one Focused Study course
must fulfill the requirement with a 200-level course outside the primary major.
5) A detailed breakdown of language and focused study as a function of
matriculation status is shown in Table 1.

*Semesters completed or equivalent proficiency demonstrated. The semesters completed must be
within a single
sequence (one language). Four semesters completed is equivalent to completion of two
years of language study.
Overlays – additional requirements that do not necessarily add coursework
1) The Writing requirement will be an overlay. Students must complete 1 W
designated course. Any course with a W attribute can be used to fulfill this
requirement, including courses taken from the Core, courses fulfilling
requirements for a major or a minor or certificate, or elective courses. This
requirement must be fulfilled by a W course taken at Hunter College.
2) The Pluralism and Diversity (P&D) requirement will be an overlay. Students
must complete 2 P&D Designated courses. Students may not use two courses
from the same P&D Group to fulfill the P&D requirement. Courses that fulfill
requirements for the major, minor, Core, or electives can be used to fulfill the
P&D requirement. Transfer courses that articulate into P&D designated
courses can be used to satisfy the requirement.

E. ARTICULATION AGREEMENT FOLLOW-UP PROCEDURES
1. Procedures for reviewing, updating, modifying or terminating agreement:
Queensborough Community College faculty and Hunter College faculty will
review and analyze the strength of the curriculum and the success of students
on an annual basis as part of their annual assessment activities. Modifications
will be made as required.
When either of the programs undergoes changes, this articulation agreement
will be reviewed and revised as necessary by one or two faculty members
from the relevant department of each institution.
2. Procedures for evaluating agreement, i.e., tracking the number of students
who transfer under the articulation agreement and their success:
The CUNY Institutional Research Database will be used to track the
performance (in terms of credit accumulation and GPA) and persistence (in
terms of retention and graduation) of all Queensborough Community College
students who transfer to Hunter College.
3. Sending and receiving college procedures for publicizing agreement, e.g.,
college catalogs, transfer advisor, websites, etc.:
Queensborough Community College and Hunter College will collaborate in
publicizing this agreement on their websites and in their catalogs. They will
share brochures and other marketing materials including web-based
promotions. Transfer students will be made aware of this agreement and will
have available all necessary materials to publicize the agreement to the
students with whom they work.
