Accessing Registered Academic Programs

The screen entitled Registered Academic Programs Offered At CUNY has three pull down menus. For all menus, you may select either one entry or “All.”

The Program Areas menu appears in the left pull down menu. Programs may appear under more than one program area. For example, if you want to find programs leading to a bachelor's degree in the teaching of Spanish, any one of the following program areas may be selected: “Spanish, “ “Education: Teaching,” or “Foreign Language.” All programs in the teaching of Spanish will appear regardless of which program area you select.

The Select Colleges menu appears as the top pull down menu on the right side.

The Select Degree/Certificate menu appears below the colleges menu.

Education Programs

While most education programs lead to certification by the State of New York, not all do. Therefore, it is very important to look at the column entitled Education Certification to determine if the program you are looking at is one that leads to State certification.

Programs with Bracketed [ ] Information

Many academic programs are offered in a joint relationship between two colleges. Information presented in brackets indicates the aspects of the program which are offered by the second of the two colleges.

Sorting Information

The registered program information can be displayed in three ways: sorted by college, by degree or by program. To change the sort, use the sort selection function which appears both at the beginning and at the end of the list of programs. Click on the way you want it to appear; the information will be sorted for you.

Disclaimer

Every reasonable effort is made to keep the registered program information in CUNY TIPPS accurate and up-to-date. Neither the individual colleges nor the CUNY Central Administration can be held liable for errors in or omissions from this on-line service.
