CURRICULUM SELECTION An online SUNY CURRICULUM FINDER is available at www.suny.edu/student Choosing a Program For each college to which you apply, you may select a specific program of study or indicate that you do not wish to select one at this time. Please note that the Health Science Centers and most community colleges, including FIT, require that you declare a major. Some programs have limited space or require portfolio review, auditions, or special academic preparation. If you are interested in a program you think may fall into this category, please contact the campus directly. Using the Curriculum Index The Curriculum Index in the Application Viewbook lists programs of study at SUNY’s colleges and universities. You may use the Index to choose a program of study at each college of your choice. Choose only one program for each college (except Purchase and HSC Stony Brook; see note on page 76). If you later want to change your program, contact the director of admissions at that college. Special Program Considerations Jointly Registered Programs (Teacher Education) A number of State University community colleges have developed teacher education programs in conjunction with State University four-year colleges. Jointly registered programs are so noted in the Curriculum Index. Purchase College offers jointly registered programs in Childhood, Early Childhood, Middle Childhood, and Adolescent Education with Manhattanville College. Cooperative Programs Many cooperative programs exist between State University colleges and other public and private colleges. In the Curriculum Index, cooperative programs are listed with the number of years of study at the first campus plus the number of years of study at the second campus (i.e., 1+1, 2+3, 3+3). For 1+1 programs, only the campus offering the first year of study is identified; contact specific colleges for more information. Joint Admissions Program Freshmen may apply for Joint Admissions, a cooperative program between two-year and four-year SUNY colleges. The program guarantees junior-level admission in a parallel program at a fouryear college after completing an associate degree program at the two-year college. When applying for Joint Admissions, enter the college code of the four-year college where you plan to continue your studies, as indicated on page A8 of the application. Health Science Centers The Health Science Centers at Brooklyn, Stony Brook, and Syracuse offer upper-division programs. Admission is by program and is generally limited to those who have completed specific requirements. Supplemental application forms are required. Contact admissions offices directly for details. ESF Guaranteed Transfer Program High school students may apply for admission through the Environmental Science & Forestry Guaranteed Transfer Admission Program. Students accepted into this program will enroll at any college of their choice and complete prerequisite courses. See the entries for Pre-Environmental Science and Forestry (0202) on pages 79 and 89 of the Curriculum Index for a list of transfer colleges. Transfer colleges are listed under Forest Technology with ESF 1+1 (0620) on page 91 of the Curriculum Index. Students may also obtain the AAS degree in Forest Technology through a unique 1+1 program at the NYS Ranger School at Wanakena. The Office of Admissions at ESF can supply details. Occupational Therapy The Health Science Center at Stony Brook offers Occupational Therapy as an entry-level master’s degree program. The multi-award B.S./M.S. degree program is available to upper division transfers with a minimum of 57 credits. Pharmacy Pharmacy at the University at Buffalo is a six-year PharmD program. Freshmen, transfers, baccalaureate, and advanced degree holders may all apply using this application. Applicants who hold a B.S. in Pharmacy should call the School of Pharmacy at 716-645-2825. Physician Assistant The Health Science Center at Stony Brook offers a Physician Assistant bachelor’s degree program. You cannot apply to this program using the enclosed application. Please apply directly at www.uhmc.sunysb.edu/shtm. Physical Therapy Physical Therapy is offered as master’s and doctoral level programs. The Health Science Center at Stony Brook offers an entrylevel Doctor of Physical Therapy (D.P.T.) program for applicants with a baccalaureate degree. For information call 631-444-3250. The Health Science Center at Brooklyn offers a joint B.S./M.S. degree program to upper division transfer students. The Health Science Center at Syracuse offers a joint BS/MPT degree program for upper division transfer students. While a specific undergraduate major is not required, a lengthy list of prerequisite courses is required. Please select curriculum code 0294 to apply. The University at Buffalo recommends Exercise Science (Code 1226) as the undergraduate major and asks interested students to apply to the six-year professional doctor of physical therapy (D.P.T.) program in their junior year (for more information, call 716-829- 2941, ext. 408). State University Transfer Guarantee An opportunity to continue fulltime study at a four-year State University college is guaranteed to all NY residents who transfer directly from a SUNY or CUNY twoyear college with an AA or an AS degree. To be eligible, you must: • File your application with the Application Processing Center by March 1 for fall admission, and by Oct. 1 for spring admission. • Provide four-year campuses with an official two-year college transcript, showing three semesters of completed studies, by March 15 for fall admission, and by Oct. 15 for spring admission. • Complete all required supplemental application materials by April 15 for fall admission, and by Nov. 15 for spring admission. The transfer guarantee becomes effective if you are denied admission at all of your four-year college choices. Remember, all applications on file at baccalaureate campuses must be complete. A9
EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITY PROGRAM (EOP) Note: You cannot apply for both the EOP and Early Decision/Early Action programs. The State University of New York’s Educational Opportunity Program (EOP) provides academic support and financial aid to students who show promise for mastering collegelevel work, but who may otherwise not be admitted. Offered primarily to full-time students who are New York State residents, EOP accepts students who qualify, academically and financially, for the program. Note: You cannot apply for both the EOP and Early Decision/Early Action programs. Eligibility To be eligible for admission to EOP you must be: • A New York State resident for 12 months prior to enrollment; • Ineligible for admission under traditional standards, but demonstrate potential for completing a college program; and • In need of financial assistance within established income guidelines. In selecting students for the program, priority is given to applicants from historically disadvantaged backgrounds. If in the year prior to enrollment your family income falls within EOP guidelines due to unemployment, separation, divorce or death of a parent, etc., you may still not qualify for EOP if you are not from an historically disadvantaged background. Required Records As part of the EOP admission process, your high school record and test scores (if needed) will be reviewed, as well as information about clubs, hobbies, jobs and any other experiences which made an impact on your education. This information will help college counselors evaluate your potential for success in a college program. Support Services When you enroll as an EOP s t u d e n t , you receive special tutoring and academic, career, and personal counseling. In addition, you receive financial aid to help with the cost of room, board, tuition, books and personal expenses. Fee Waiver The $40 application fee is waived for those eligible for admission to EOP. If you think you are eligible, check yes on Question 54. If you are found to be ineligible, you will be billed for the fee. Note: Applicants who are deemed ineligible for EOP may still qualify for admission and for financial aid as traditional candidates. Contact the admissions or EOP office at your college choice before you apply. Note: The following campuses do not offer EOP programs: Adirondack, Cayuga County, Clinton, Columbia-Greene, Herkimer County, Jefferson, Mohawk Valley, Nassau, Niagara County, Sullivan County and Tompkins Cortland Community Colleges. Transfers You are eligible for EOP as a transfer student provided you have been enrolled in EOP, College Discovery, HEOP (Higher Education Opportunity Program), SEEK (Search for Education, Elevation and Knowledge) or a similar program at your previous college. If your previous college did not have EOP or a similar program, you may be considered for transfer eligibility and should notify the college to which you are transferring. Income Guidelines The table below lists financial eligibility requirements for EOP admission during the 2003-2004 academic year. To be economically disadvantaged, a student must belong to a household that is defined in Category A, B, C, or D or the exceptions noted.
