STEM Variant Courses

Courses from STEM fields (science, technology, engineering, mathematics, etc.) can be used to satisfy two areas of the general education program: the Life and Physical Science area of the Required Core and the Scientific World area of the Flexible Core. These are called 'STEM Variants.' Any student can decide to take a STEM Variant course. Students in the Computer Information Systems, Fire Science, and Forensic Science majors will use some of their major courses as STEM Variants to satisfy these areas of the general education program. These following courses have been designated as STEM Variants by John Jay College and can fulfill either of the specified areas.
