SUNY has created SUNY Transfer Paths which summarize the common lower division requirements shared by SUNY campuses within most major disciplines.
Transfer paths are sets of common courses, that when taken prior to transferring to a four-year program, are guaranteed to transfer and apply to an aligned major.
Following a path when you start your college career ensures that you can start strong and make consistent progress.

Guaranteed Progress
The SUNY Seamless Transfer policy gurantees that all courses identified as Core Courses will transfer in programs aligned with the SUNY Transfer Path when completed with a C or better.
Widely Available
SUNY Transfer Paths cover over 80% of majors by applying to a broad range of disciplines. Each new or revised major in the SUNY System aligns with a SUNY Transfer path where one exists in the major discipline. Aligning with transfer paths means programs can be completed within 4 total years of study when a student transfers.
Core Courses
Core Courses are courses that fulfill lower-level requirements and apply to transfer path majors on all SUNY campuses.
