Students with previous college course work or degrees may be exempted from some of the required and elective general education courses. An evaluation of a student’s transfer credits is made by the Spitzer School advisement. Those wishing to apply must complete a CUNY Transfer Application. Once accepted students are individually evaluated on the basis of past academic work. A portfolio is required only for those who previously studied architecture.

Applicants who have earned a B.S. degree in Architecture at another institution should submit a transfer student application. Accepted applicants will be asked to present a portfolio containing examples of their work. Placement in studio is based on portfolio evaluation.
