Honors Programs – The City University of New York

The Coordinated B.A.-M.D. Program offers a special opportunity for entering first-year students committed to pursuing a medical career. It provides an integrated course of study that equips future Doctors with both the necessary foundation in the sciences along with a broad background in the humanities and social sciences. The program does not restrict the field of medicine entered or the location of practice. Each student accepted to the program is awarded a Brooklyn College Foundation Presidential Scholarship which provides full tuition for four years of undergraduate study.

The Coordinated Engineering Honors Program offers a course of study equivalent to the first two years at any engineering school. Students who maintain the required academic level are guaranteed transfer to one of the three coordinating schools—Polytechnic University, City College of New York School of Engineering or the College of Staten Island Engineering Science Program—to complete their bachelor’s degree in engineering. However, Coordinated Engineering students have also transferred to other prestigious colleges. Those admitted as incoming first-year students receive a Brooklyn College Foundation Presidential Scholarship that provides full tuition for their two years of full-time undergraduate study in the Coordinated Engineering Program.
