Established at The City University in 1964, SEEK (Search for Elevation and Education through Knowledge) is a higher education opportunity program designed to help students reach their academic and career goals through counseling, academic support services, and extra financial aid.

Two categories of students are eligible for the SEEK program:

1.  First-time applicants admitted as SEEK students

2.  Transfer students with a 2.0 GPA coming from SEEK and CD programs within CUNY or from HEOP or EOP programs outside of CUNY.

High school students must be New York State residents and meet SEEK’s specific academic and income guidelines.

Students must apply through the University Application Processing Center at the time they apply to CUNY as either freshmen or transfer students.

Academic support services include individual and group tutoring sessions led by experienced and expert tutors, a study hall where SEEK students can get expert

assistance with their assignments on a walk-in basis and a first-rate computer lab. Each SEEK student is assigned a counselor to facilitate academic planning and career exploration as well as to provide personal counseling.

SEEK students are admitted on a full-time basis, with access to all academic majors and career programs at the college.
