1. The latest version of the curriculum sheet supersedes any curriculum and pre-/corequisite information in the Undergraduate Bulletin or
online.

2. “C” Passing Grade Requirement: Courses in shaded area ( ) require a minimum passing grade of “C”.
3. Skills tests: Certain students may be required to pass CUNY Assessment Tests in one or more subjects within 1 or 2 years of admission.
4. Liberal Arts electives: CpE students must take six approved courses, of which at least two must have course numbers of 20000 or higher. Four of
the courses should satisfy Flexible Core (Pathways) liberal arts requirements in the Creative Expression (CE), World Cultures & Global Issues
(WCGI), Individual & Society (IS), and U.S. Experience (US) areas. Prior courses in these four areas from other colleges can satisfy the electives.
The remaining two courses must be chosen from the list on the Grove School of Engineering web site at ccny.cuny.edu/engineering/gen-ed .
See ccny.cuny.edu/engineering/pathways for details and the Pathways course lists. A prior degree may remove the requirement of all six courses.
5. Other Graduation Requirements: Apply for graduation during registration for the last semester. Minimum GPA of 2.00. Minimum QPA of zero.
Residency Requirement: 30 credits of 30000-level or higher Computer Science or Electrical Engineering courses taken at CCNY.
6. Transfer students with credit for Math 21200 or 20200 are considered too advanced for Engr 10100. They should take an additional 1-credit CSc or
EE lab instead. (FIQWS 10026 fulfills the requirements for Engl 11000 and Engr 10100.)
7. Program Changes: Substitution of other courses for required courses must be approved by the Chair of the Computer Science Department (NAC
8/206) for CSc courses or the Chair of the Electrical Engineering Department (ST-602) for EE courses, and approved by the Associate Dean of the
Office of Undergraduate Affairs (ST-209) in both cases.
8. Red texts are the most recent curriculum changes.

Total Credits: 129–132.

 Residency requirement: 30 credits of CSc + EE courses numbered 300 or higher must be taken at CCNY.
GPA: _________ QPA: _________ (GPA & QPA calculator: www-cs.ccny.cuny.edu/~fenster/gpa.html)
QPA uses only your grades in all CSc & EE courses, and Engr 204: F=−2. D=−1. {C−, C, C+}=0. {B−, B, B+}=1. {A−, A, A+}=2.
Multiply each grade by the number of credits, and add them. FIN=FAB=F. Count only courses taken at CCNY.
Good standing: GPA ≥ 2, QPA ≥ 0, and you do not need a course for the third time. W credits must be < 12 in the last two years.
