- Provide graduates of related AAS programs in computer systems the opportunity to transfer into our program and earn a BTech degree.
Admission to the Bachelor of Technology Program
There are many ways a student can enter the Bachelor of Technology (BTech) program. Students who enter the program as freshmen must meet the college standards. For more information on these standards see the college website. Students who do not meet these standards may be admitted into the AAS degree program and continue to the BTech program after completing the AAS degree requirements and the CUNY certification in reading, writing and mathematics.
Students may also transfer from other programs within City Tech or from other colleges. It is not necessary to have earned an Associate Degree. Transcripts of entering students will be evaluated to determine the courses they must complete for the Bachelor of Technology (BTech) degree.
