Meet Our Students

CUNY Baccalaureate Degree students are at the cutting edge of education. Since 1971, they've embodied the need to "learn to think across disciplines, since that’s where most new breakthroughs are made," as Thomas Friedman, best-selling author of The World is Flat, recently put it in Time magazine. "It’s interdisciplinary combinations—design and technology, mathematics and art—that...produce[s] YouTube and Google."

Our students self-directed, developing unique or interdisciplinary areas of study, like David Morgante (Terrorism Studies) and Jennifer Arnold (Costume Archiving for the 21st Century with Computer and Video). They're highly motivated in pursuing internships, independent studies, field work, and study abroad. Above all, they're academically superior, earning Fulbright, Goldwater, Marshall, and Rhodes Scholarships.
