As our fall graduates prepare for graduation and all other students prepare for Spring 2025 registration, please note that, as always, there are helpful events and services all over campus! Please review the upcoming events below— highlighted events are recommended for Human Biology majors. If you ever need advising or have any questions, please feel free to email us at humbio@hunter.cuny.edu!
October Highlights
💼 Human Biology Program Events 🧬

We will be reviewing the Human Biology Program, course requirements, career pathways, as well as hear about our new Human Biology CIE program! Q&A with Human Biology major advisors will follow our presentation
- RSVP here to receive the Zoom link.
- APPLY FOR GRADUATION: Fall 2024 Graduation Application Deadline is October 15
- If you are aiming to graduate this fall/winter, please be sure to apply for graduation on CUNYfirst by October 15! There are no exceptions if you miss the deadline. Please ensure that you meet with all advisors to confirm graduation readiness— all fall graduates should have received an invitation to meet with a Human Biology major advisor for a graduation readiness meeting. As a reminder, Human Biology majors are required to complete 36 credits in the major, including a C- or above in ANTHP 105, your BIOL sequence, and STAT 113 or 213. If you earn an INC in your last semester, this will delay your graduation.
