Academic Preparation for Degree Programs

Below are specific requirements that a candidate for admission should possess for the degree programs below. Interested candidates who do not meet the requirements listed for a specific program are encouraged to apply for the desired program to ensure that the Office of Admissions knows what your goal is. This is very important for EOP applicants and non-traditional applicants.

The requirements listed are for NYS students taking Regents exams. Out-of-state students will be reviewed for the equivalent prerequisites. Out-of-state students are encouraged to contact the Office of Admissions for more information.

Where specific Regents scores are not listed, a passing score of 65+ is required.

Transfer students not meeting the requirements from high school should still submit their application for admission and updated college transcript(s). College transcript(s) will be reviewed for course equivalencies.

SUNY Canton reserves the right to change these requirements at anytime. Applications are reviewed on an individual basis and some students are offered admission to alternate programs or are accepted with the understanding that additional time may be required to complete the degree. Students meeting the minimum requirements are not guaranteed admission.
