The college expects that every Kingsborough student will make consistent and determined progress toward earning a degree, seriously strive to perform well in all courses, spend approximately two hours and five minutes of outside preparation, study, and work for EACH hour of classroom instruction and be committed to taking full advantage of the opportunities the college offers for a quality education. The administration and faculty are concerned with providing education of the highest level of excellence, building basic skills, which will facilitate and encourage further learning, assisting students to develop their individual potentials to their highest levels and helping students establish a firm foundation upon which to build their future careers. Students in all programs follow courses of study designed to provide a sound general education and a carefully developed program of occupational or pre-professional education.
Kingsborough strives to provide courses in scheduled formats that facilitate student success while supporting the most conducive path to timely degree completion. Recognizing the desire to meet the multi-faceted needs of all students, courses for degree completion are offered in both day and evening formats. We do not offer any degree programs that are exclusively structured totally for either evening or weekend attendance or online completion. Students will need to work closely with designated advisors to plan for a combination of day and evening or weekend classes to complete their course of study.
Graduates who successfully complete the courses prescribed for the program of their choice can earn the degree that plan carries: the Associate in Arts (A.A.) degree, the Associate in Science (A.S.) degree or the Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S.) degree. Several one-year certificate programs are also offered.
Effective Fall 2013, The City University of New York implemented the Pathways initiative across its undergraduate colleges. Pathways establishes a new system of general education requirements and new transfer guidelines across CUNY, and by doing so reinforces CUNY’s educational excellence while easing student transfer between CUNY colleges
