3 Dear Student, This booklet, THE DO IS OPEN, is the culmination of extensive consultations between the faculty and administration of Hudson Valley Community College and SUNY New Paltz to develop a comprehensive transfer agreement between the two institutions. Many programs at two-year colleges can and should lead into those at four-year institutions, especially within SUNY. For example, students who receive A.A., A.S., and in many instances an A.A.S. degree from Hudson Valley Community College, should be able to complete their undergraduate study at New Paltz and earn a baccalaureate degree within a reasonable period of time. This transfer guide is designed to facilitate such an arrangement. The DO IS OPEN was originally published in 1980 as the first comprehensive articulation agreement between Hudson Valley Community College and SUNY New Paltz. We are very proud of the continued cooperative spirit in which the work has been undertaken, and we believe that this ongoing agreement will be of great benefit to Hudson Valley Community College students who are considering transferring to SUNY New Paltz to complete a baccalaureate degree. Andrew J. Matonak, Ed.D. President Hudson Valley Community College Donald P. Christian, Ph.D. President SUNY New Paltz

5 QUESTIONS... ABOUT TRANSFERRING TO NEW PALTZ, AND THE USE OF THIS TRANSFER GUIDE Q. Does New Paltz offer the major I want? A. New Paltz offers a wide variety of majors in both liberal arts and pre-professional programs, fine and performing arts, and education. Each major currently offered at New Paltz is listed in the Transfer Guide with Hudson Valley equivalent course work. The full list of required coursework for each major appears in the New Paltz undergraduate catalog. This guide is designed for use in conjunction with the New Paltz catalog. Q. Which of my Hudson Valley courses will transfer to New Paltz? A. New Paltz accepts up to 70 credits from each Hudson Valley student. An individual transfer credit evaluation will be provided to determine credits completed and credits still needed to meet the General Education requirement. Those A.A. and A.S. degree holders who complete courses in all ten knowledge and skill areas will be considered as having met New Paltz general education requirement. A.A.S. holders generally have a larger number of non-liberal arts courses in their Hudson Valley program than A.A. or A.S. students. However, each applicant also receives an individual transfer credit evaluation with an assessment of credits completed and credits still needed to meet the General Education requirement. Q. Does this mean that an A.A.S. student can transfer to New Paltz? I thought that only A.A. and A.S. students could transfer? A. A.A.S. degree holders can and do continue their studies at four-year colleges and universities, including New Paltz. Many liberal arts programs have strong career components, such as journalism, electronic media -TV production, and business. Q. What are the admission requirements? A. All transfer students need a 2.75 GPA for consideration for all majors. The following majors have additional requirements: Art (Studio) (2.75 and an Art Portfolio review) Art Education (3.00 and an Art Portfolio review) Biology - Must have completed General Biology I & II, General Chemistry I & II and Pre-Calculus Early Childhood/Childhood Education (2.75, B or better in English Composition I and English Composition II and 30 completed credits) Communication Disorder (cumulative 3.0) Mathematics & Mathematics/Adolescence Education (Completed up to Calculus I and be enrolled in Calculus II) Music (Audition) Psychology ( C or better in General Psychology). Adolescence Education (2.75 and B or better in Freshman Composition I and II) Theatre (Audition) Q. Which of my Hudson Valley courses will count toward my New Paltz major? A. Using a current New Paltz catalog and this transfer guide this question can be easily answered. The Guide lists those courses required for each New Paltz major that can be taken at Hudson Valley. These courses will apply toward the requirements of each specific major as listed. Q. How many of my Hudson Valley courses will count toward my New Paltz major? A. As a general rule, One-half of the credits in the major must be completed at New Paltz. Please see the New Paltz catalog for details, Q. Can field service, independent study, and special topics courses taken at Hudson Valley be counted toward my major at New Paltz? A. Field Service, Independent Study, and Special Topics may be acceptable toward a major pending review of appropriate documentation by the chairperson of the major department at New Paltz. Q. Are all the courses I could take at Hudson Valley listed in this booklet? A. No. This guide only lists those courses which are equivalent to courses required of a specific major at New Paltz. Courses at Hudson Valley that do not meet a major requirement are still transferable as free electives. The guide does not list major courses which are offered only at New Paltz. Q. How can I be sure of which courses I still need to complete my major at New Paltz? A. Each major, with the full list of courses required, is described in the most recent edition of the New Paltz undergraduate catalog. 1

6 Q. What is the total number of credits required for a New Paltz degree? A. New Paltz requires 120 academic credits for most of its degree programs. Among the 120 academic credits, a number of liberal arts credits are required for each specific degree. 90 for Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) 60 for the Bachelor of Science (B.S.) 30 for the Bachelor of Fine Arts (B.F.A.) 48 for the Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Art Education NOTE: The Electrical and Computer Engineering Programs require a greater number of credits to complete the degree. Students seeking a baccalaureate degree with certification under the new State Education Department requirements may also need an extended time frame in which to complete the degree. Liberal arts courses taken at Hudson Valley transfer towards this liberal arts requirement. Of the 120 academic credits, 45 must be upper-division level. Q. What is the upper-division requirement? A. Simply put, it is a requirement, common to many four-year colleges and universities that a minimum number of credits be taken at an advanced level. At New Paltz, this consists of courses numbered at the 300, 400 and 500 levels. Each applicant to New Paltz receives a transfer credit evaluation, which will summarize the number of credits, if any, which can transfer toward this requirement. Q. What is the Writing Intensive requirement? A. This requirement is separate from the General Education program. All students, including transfers with an A.A. or A.S. degree, must complete a three-credit New Paltz course, designated as Writing-Intensive, before graduation. Q. How long will it take me to complete my program at New Paltz? A. Normally, A.A. and A.S. degree holders from Hudson Valley when transferring to a parallel program, can complete their New Paltz degree in two additional years of fulltime successful study. However, if a complete change of major is made, it may take longer to complete the degree. Certain specialized fields such as electrical engineering and education may require additional studies beyond the normal four semesters. Finally, due to budgetary restrictions and increased demand for certain select majors, both native students and transfer students may, in some instances, require additional time in which to complete degree requirements because of more limited availability of certain coursework. Q. Is there any additional information or advice available to me as a student transferring to New Paltz? A. Yes, the Undergraduate Admissions Office provides all accepted applicants with a transfer credit evaluation. This evaluation summarizes the total number of credits which will be accepted in transfer to New Paltz, and shows specifically how your credits will be applied to general degree requirements. You should also discuss your plans with a Hudson Valley advisor and the transfer/career planning and placement office at Hudson Valley. Q. How do I obtain financial aid? A. Financial Aid is available to eligible transfer students to help defray the costs of tuition, fees, room, and board at New Paltz. Information on how and when to apply for each of the available financial aid programs is sent to each transfer student at the time of acceptance. 2

Art Education courses are not available at Hudson Valley, and must be taken at New Paltz. Some of the art studio courses, which comprise the specialization in art, may be taken at Hudson Valley. See section on ART STUDIO for details. ART HISTY The Department of Art History offers courses in the history of painting, sculpture, architecture, graphic and decorative arts, design, photography and film. A major in this department requires 36 credits of Art History courses and leads to the B.A. degree. Students contemplating advanced study in art history are strongly urged to take a foreign language, preferably French or German. Students in the B-6 Early Childhood/Childhood Education Dual Certification Program may select an Art History concentration as part of the education curriculum. See the New Paltz catalog for details.

Coursework not credited will be considered art electives or general elective credit toward the degree. See Transfer Art Portfolio information. BIOLOGY Biology encompasses a number of fields that range from molecular and cell biology on one hand to organismal biology, aquatic ecology and animal behavior on the other. In addition to extensive classroom and laboratory facilities, the Biology Department maintains state of the art molecular biology equipment. The surrounding area provides an excellent setting for field biology courses. Students may earn either a BA or a BS degree in Biology. Students opting for the BA often are oriented toward careers in which a broad Biology background is useful (e.g., Law, Public Policy, Environmental Advocacy and Medicine). The BS often connotes more depth in the field and is appropriate for students considering graduate school and/or research careers, requiring specialization within a sub-discipline of biology and more rigorous cognate science requirements. The BS has two tracks: (1) Organismal Biology, and (2) Cell/Molecular Biology. Or a student may select a biology major in childhood or adolescence education. Under advisement, the biology major concentrations provide the necessary course work for entry to graduate programs in the health professions. (See PRE-MEDICAL PROFESSIONS section of this booklet). In order to graduate on time, students planning to transfer into a Biology major with 60 credits must bring in course equivalents for the first two years of the major at New Paltz. Minimally, the New Paltz courses numbered BIO201 and BIO202 and CHE201/211 and CHE202/212 are pre-requisites to declare any of the above major degree tracks. The other courses listed are electives or required for the major, depending upon the specific program. See New Paltz catalog for details.

BLACK STUDIES The Black Studies Department seeks to provide a more thorough and accurate treatment of the history of Black people in America. It examines the impact of current economic, social and political forces that shape the Black experience and contributes to a basic understanding of the special problems faced by Black people in contemporary American life. The major provides an opportunity to study the artistic expressions of Black people and for research and creative activity in Black studies, both on campus and in the community. In its comprehensive approach, and as a complement to more traditional majors, the Department of Black Studies seeks to prepare students for most professional careers outside the science fields. Students in the B-2 Early Childhood/Childhood (1-6) Dual Certification program may select a Black Studies history or literature concentration as part of the education curriculum.

CHEMISTRY The Chemistry Department at New Paltz offers many advantages to the student interested in majoring in this field. It provides a strong background in organic, physical, inorganic and analytical chemistry. New Paltz upper-division undergraduates are able to enroll in advanced courses in biochemistry, and instrumentation. High quality modern equipment is used for instruction and research in student laboratories. The small size of upper-division courses encourages close interaction between faculty and students. There are many opportunities to engage in research with the faculty, leading to research presentations at local and national conferences and publications. 14

19 Two undergraduate programs leading to liberal arts degrees are available: the American Chemical Society (ACS) approved major and a general chemistry major.

The Electrical and Computer Engineering programs are accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission (E.A.C.) of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (A.B.E.T.). Electrical and computer engineering continue to be the growth programs in the field of engineering due to a rapidly changing technological society and expanding industrial needs. The program at SUNY New Paltz is designed to meet these needs generally, and more specifically the needs of the Mid-Hudson Valley. Engineering students graduate with a high level of technical competence combined with a liberal arts education that helps to develop managerial or research potential. Demonstrating its commitment to the liberal arts and sciences, the university has designed a curriculum to insure that engineering students will have a solid background in the humanities and social sciences to complement their professional studies, and to provide them with the knowledge and skill necessary to adapt to a changing world. A key feature of engineering at New Paltz is the close working relationship the university enjoys with local high technology industry. The interest and support of industry inspired the development of the program and now ensure that it continues to be relevant to expanding and changing industrial needs.

25 Engineering students are educated in mathematics and the sciences under the direction of faculty from appropriate departments, while engineering courses are taught by engineering faculty. Students are prepared for research, development, and management positions or for further study of engineering at the graduate level in a research oriented atmosphere. The Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering curriculums consist of a humanities/social sciences component, a preengineering phase and upper division engineering coursework. It should be noted that because of A.B.E.T. accreditation, the engineering program requires a different, and more specific, liberal arts component than is required by other programs. For details of credits required in each component mentioned above, refer to the New Paltz catalog. See the New Paltz catalog for details.
