Recommended Class Sequence
Your First Year: In order to support correct placement & timely graduation, for the first two semesters (30 credits), you will be assigned a schedule of courses with a cohort of your peers. The schedule is designed to introduce you to the study of Film in higher education & includes foundational courses required for the Liberal Arts General Education component of your A.S. Degree.
In Your Second Year: in consultation with your faculty mentor, you will select the remaining appropriate Liberal Arts General Education courses & additional elective credits in the major to complement your concentration.

Transfer & Articulation
Students graduating with an Associate’s degree are extremely attractive to 4-year colleges. Colleges that may have been out-of-reach financially or academically after high school, now seek to fill vacated seats in the junior year, with many offering substantial scholarships.
Before you transfer, graduate. Completing your Associate Degree first, ensures your courses & credits have lifetime value. If you transfer before you graduate, your community college credits will be evaluated course by course reducing the chances that your courses & credits will transfer.
Articulation Agreements: We have agreements that allow graduates of Queensborough to complete a bachelor’s degree in an efficient manner after transfer, with the following:
