Every student entering BMCC Fall 2013 and after will be required to complete the 30-credit Common Core to earn an Associate in Arts (AA) or Associate in Science (AS) degree. BMCC students who have taken an absence of more than one semester, are also required to complete the 30-credit Common Core to earn an AA or AS degree. Continuing students who entered BMCC before Fall 2013 are able to choose whether they wish to complete the existing degree requirements or change to Pathways. This decision should be made in consultation with an academic advisor and students will be required to opt-in or opt-out of pathways by signing a contract.
