Brooklyn College is a senior school of the City University of New York, situated in Brooklyn, New York, United States.
Built in 1930 by the New York City Board of Higher Education, the College had its beginnings as the Downtown Brooklyn branches of Hunter College (then a ladies' school) and the City College of New York (then a men's school). With the merger of these branches, Brooklyn College turned into the first open coeducational aesthetic sciences school in New York City. The 26-section of land (110,000 m2) grounds is known for its awesome excellence, and is frequently viewed as "the poor man's Harvard" in light of its low educational cost and notoriety for scholastic fabulousness (previous President, Robert Hess, reacted to the moniker by saying "I like to consider Harvard the rich man's Brooklyn College").
The school was positioned as the most wonderful grounds and in the main ten for worth, assorted qualities, and area by The Princeton Review in 2003 and in the main fifty for quality in 2009.
Undergraduate curriculum
Starting in 1981, the school initiated a gathering of classes that all students were obliged to take, called "Center Studies". The classes were: Classical Origins of Western Culture, Introduction to Art, Introduction to Music, People, Power, and Politics, The Shaping of the Modern World, Introduction to Mathematical Reasoning and Computer Programming, Landmarks of Literature, Chemistry, Physics, Biology, Geology, Studies in African, Asian, and Latin American Cultures, and Knowledge, Existence and Values.
In 2006, the Core Curriculum was patched up, and the 13 obliged courses were supplanted with 15 courses in 3 controls, from which understudies were obliged to take 11. In fall 2013, Brooklyn College left on CUNY's new general instruction elective, the Pathways educational program, comprising of three parts: Required Core (four courses), Flexible Core (six courses) and College Option (four courses)—totaling 42 credits. Brooklyn College offers over a hundred majors changing from the visual expressions to Women's Studies.
