    Are all of these schools private?

    i know that CUNY schools, that are not private, offer the Unique and Interdisciplinary Studies program for ungraduate students, which lets the students choose the courses that they want/need to take in order to make your own degree. That’s what I’m doing to study art therapy, instead of double majoring in Psych and Art.
