(Delaware and Chester Counties, PA)—Delaware County Community College has signed a new transfer articulation agreement with Ursinus College that will create a smooth and affordable path for DCCC students who have earned their associate degrees to complete a four-year degree at Ursinus.
The new agreement helps students save time and money in pursuit of their bachelor’s degree. Under the Agreement, academically eligible DCCC students who have earned their associate degree at DCCC who are transferring into parallel majors at Ursinus will be guaranteed third year (junior) status at Ursinus. Students not transferring into parallel majors may require additional time at Ursinus College for degree completion.
“For nearly six decades, Delaware County Community College has empowered students from all walks of life to pursue their dreams, uplift their families, and strengthen their communities,” said Delaware County Community College President Dr. Marta Yera Cronin. “Among the many benefits of attending DCCC is our more than 30 transfer agreements to four-year institutions to continue the pursuit of higher learning. This transfer articulation agreement with Ursinus College is a wonderful opportunity for our students.”
Imbedded in this articulation is a Core-to-Core agreement, where students transferring with an A.A., A.S. and some A.F.A. or A.A.S. degrees will have satisfied all or most of the general education requirements for transfer. All students transferring under the terms of this articulation will receive generous merit-based scholarships for their remaining years of study at Ursinus College.
“Our partnership with Delaware County Community College underscores our commitment to student success and to transforming lives,” said Ursinus College President Robyn Hannigan, Ph.D. “This agreement creates a clear path from DCCC to Ursinus, where students continue their education through our distinctive applied, professional, and experiential learning that prepares nimble professionals who emerge ready to thrive in an increasingly complex world.”
