Undergraduate Application for Admission

Welcome to undergraduate admissions at the CUNY School of Labor and Urban Studies (CUNY SLU). We’re glad you are choosing CUNY SLU to complete your undergraduate degree and further your academic goals.

SLU’s undergraduate programs are designed to meet the needs of both traditional-age and adult students seeking to commence, transition into, or complete a bachelor’s degree program.

Some things to consider before applying:

  • A cumulative GPA of 2.0 or better is required for admission.
  • We accept a maximum of 90 transfer credits. Our transfer credit section can tell you more.
  • Students who are admitted to CUNY must satisfy the reading, writing, and mathematics basic skills requirements.
  •  A personal essay or writing sample is part of the application process.
      • Provide a compelling statement of purpose describing your relevant experience as well as the reason and motivation for applying to the program (250 words).
