Albright College - Dual Admission & Core-to-Core for Traditional Day & Accelerated Degree Programs
Preface
Delaware County Community College (DCCC) and Albright College enter into this Dual Admissions and Core-to-Core Transfer Agreement to facilitate the transfer of DCCC students to Albright College's Day and Accelerated Bachelor's Degree Programs.
Albright College's Traditional Program
Under the Dual Admissions Agreement, DCCC graduates will be guaranteed admission into a traditional day undergraduate bachelor's degree program with junior status at Albright College on the condition that they:
- graduate from DCCC with an Associate in Arts (A.A.), an Associate in Science (A.S.) or an Associate in Fine Arts (A.F.A.);
- maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 from DCCC;
- complete a Dual Admissions "Intent to Enroll" form before final semester begins (Appendix A);
- are in good academic and social standing;
- and satisfy all other Albright College transfer admission requirements.
A full-time student admitted with junior status to Albright College can complete a bachelor's degree in a parallel program at Albright College within four regular semesters provided that the student completes the appropriate associate degree program at DCCC and completes his/her remaining course work on a full-time basis at Albright College. Students are required to complete at least 16 courses at Albright in order to receive their bachelor's degree from Albright. This Dual Admissions agreement is designed to provide a seamless transfer. In order to achieve this end, students are responsible:
- to receive early advising from both DCCC transfer advisors and Albright advisors about their intended program of study;
- to not change their program of study, as committed to in the Dual Admissions "Intent to Enroll" form;
- to successfully complete all courses within their program of study.
Core-to-Core Component:
Albright College agrees to accept the general education embedded in DCCC's Associate in Arts (A.A.), Associate in Science (A.S.), and Associate in Fine Arts (A.F.A.) as meeting all general studies requirements for graduation from Albright, except the foreign language requirement (native speakers exempt), synthesis requirement and English 102 requirement (if students have not completed DCCC's ENG 112 English Composition II: Writing About Literature).
As additional benefit, all Dual Admissions students can take one Albright College day-course per year with tuition waived while enrolled as a DCCC student (maximum of three courses lifetime).
To facilitate the transfer of DCCC graduates to Albright College in accordance with the foregoing guarantee, the parties agree to the following:

Albright College's Accelerated Degree Programs Core-to-Core Transfer
Delaware County Community College (DCCC) and Albright College agree to enter into a partnership for the purpose of providing students the opportunity to complete coursework towards an accelerated bachelor's degree in one of the following: Accounting, Business Administration, Computer Information Systems, Computer Information Systems & Management, Crime and Justice, Digital Communications, Organizational Behavior/Applied Psychology or others as developed. This agreement will provide a seamless/integrated approach that will apply all coursework taken as part of an Associate in Art (A.A.), Associate in Science (A.S.) and Associate in Fine Arts (A.F.A.) program at DCCC toward the Accelerated Degree Program at Albright College.
Principles of Agreement
- Albright College agrees to offer the Accelerated Degree Program in the following disciplines at the upper division level: Accounting, Business Administration, Computer Information Systems, Computer Information Systems & Management, Crime and Justice, Digital Communications, Organizational Behavior/Applied Psychology and others as developed.
- Graduates of DCCC's Associate in Art (A.A.), Associate in Science (A.S.), and Associate in Fine Arts (A.F.A.) will be admitted to the Accelerated Degree Program with Core-to-Core transfer benefits as outlined on page one of this agreement, enabling the student to transfer up to 78 total credits towards a bachelor's degree. A.F.A. students will need to complete ENG 112 at DCCC or the equivalent at Albright. Albright College reserves the right to review and approve all applicants for admission into the Accelerated Degree Program. Along with Core-to-Core transfer benefits, Associate in Art (A.A.), Associate in Science (A.S.), and Associate in Fine Arts (A.F.A.) degree recipients will be eligible for a $2,800 total scholarship distributed across four semesters ($700 per semester). For Associate in Art (A.A.), Associate in Science (A.S.), and Associate in Fine Arts (A.F.A.) degree recipients who have a cumulative grade point average of 3.7 of higher or DCCC alumni who are members of Phi Theta Kappa, the scholarship amount will increase to $3,500 total distributed across four semesters ($875 per semester). This scholarship is prorated, so a student must have the associate degree prior to enrolling at Albright College to obtain the full scholarship.
- Graduates of DCCC's Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S.) will be admitted to the Accelerated Degree Program. Albright College reserves the right to review and approve all applicants for admission into the Accelerated Degree Program. The amount of transfer credits will vary by program. Interested DCCC students can schedule a meeting with an Albright College Enrollment Advisor to determine total credit transfer. DCCC graduates who have obtained an Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S.) will be eligible for a $2,800 total scholarship distributed across four semesters ($700 per semester). For Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S.) degree recipients who have a cumulative grade point average of 3.7 of higher or DCCC alumni who are members of Phi Theta Kappa, the scholarship amount will increase to $3,500 total distributed across four semesters ($875 per semester). This scholarship is prorated, so a student must have the associate degree prior to enrolling at Albright College to obtain the full scholarship. Students will be permitted to transfer up to 48 approved elective credits towards an Albright College degree in the Accelerated Degree Program, along with another potential 30 credits in general education, which should benefit the A.A.S. transfer student.
- Admission, advising, registration and required coursework materials of prospective and enrolled students in the Accelerated Degree Program will be the responsibility of Albright College.
- DCCC agrees to assist Albright College in marketing the Accelerated Degree Program, specifically our onsite partnership with Delaware County Community College. Albright College will attend transfer and partner programs at DCCC. Albright College will provide DCCC with marketing materials for its Accelerated Degree Program.
- Each student entering Albright College's Accelerated Degree Program is assured the opportunity to complete all coursework towards the Bachelor's Degree in Accounting, Business Administration, Crime and Justice, Digital Communications, Computer Information Systems, Computer Information Systems & Management, Organizational Behavior/Applied Psychology or other programs as developed.
- Students participating in this agreement cannot attend another college or university between the time of graduating from DCCC and entering Albright College.
Revision, Renewal and Termination of this Agreement
The Albright College offices of Academic Affairs and Enrollment Management and the appropriate offices at DCCC are responsible for identifying, and communicating to each other, changes in the policies or requirements of their respective institutions that affect this Agreement.
This revised Agreement will be in effect as of the date of its signing, and supersedes the original agreement from September 2002. It will be reviewed annually by the appropriate representatives at each institution, and will be renewed automatically until formally terminated. Either institution may terminate this Agreement at any time by written notice at least one year in advance of the effective date of termination. Should this Agreement be terminated, it is understood that the termination will not apply to students already accepted or enrolled at Albright College under the terms of this Agreement.
The willingness of both institutions to enter this Agreement in order to facilitate the transfer of students from Delaware County Community College into Albright College, and to expand their opportunities for academic success there, is indicated by the signatures. This revised and renewed Dual Admissions and Core-to-Core Transfer Agreement becomes effective upon the signing of this agreement.
