A Message from the Deputy Director

Congratulations!

If you are still undecided or en route to fulfill the prerequisites to apply to the professional school of your choice, your home base is here at The Hub!

You are about to embark upon your college career which will challenge you academically, intellectually, and socially. In your freshmen year, you are adapting to your new school environment, learning the terrain, and the basic academic expectations. In the sophomore year, you will focus more on your degree path, its alignment with your career plans, as well as your personal values and ethics.

You are poised to take your place in an extremely complex world and a rapidly changing one. Your generation on average will have more than one career.

There is no one path to a career. A basic undergraduate major may lead to many different vocational options.

A mind that is both agile and receptive to new ideas is the key to meeting the challenges of the 21st-century workplace. Your undergraduate education here at CCNY will equip you to meet those challenges.

Your Hub adviser will guide you on this voyage of discovery!

Welcome to CCNY!
