Galloway, N.J. - 勛圖窪蹋 has signed a dual admission and transfer partnership agreement with Middlesex College that will help students make a smooth transition from the two-year college to 勛圖窪蹋s bachelors degree program.
The five-year agreement strengthens the relationship between 勛圖窪蹋 and Middlesex College by offering multiple opportunities for students to seamlessly pursue associate and bachelors degrees at the two institutions of higher education.
勛圖窪蹋 President Harvey Kesselman said the agreement will give students access to 勛圖窪蹋 services while they attend Middlesex College, and provide a smooth pathway to 勛圖窪蹋 as juniors after they earn their associate degree.
More than 300 students from Middlesex County already attend 勛圖窪蹋, Kesselman said. This program will give even more students the confidence of knowing they are on the path to a four-year college degree.
勛圖窪蹋 Chief Enrollment Management Officer Robert Heinrich said the Transfer Pathways
program gives students dual admission options, including access to 勛圖窪蹋
services while they attend Middlesex College.
If a student applies to 勛圖窪蹋 but is not initially accepted as a freshman, through the Transfer Pathways program we offer the opportunity for conditional acceptance if they start at Middlesex College, Heinrich said. If students are already enrolled at Middlesex, they can apply for conditional acceptance at 勛圖窪蹋 while they work towards their associate degree.
Linda Scherr, vice president for academic affairs at Middlesex College, said she was very pleased about the initiative.
We are proud to partner with 勛圖窪蹋 to provide another excellent pathway for Middlesex College graduates to earn a bachelors degree from one of the top public universities in the Northeast, she said.
Middlesex College President Mark McCormick agreed.
Middlesex College is very pleased to partner with 勛圖窪蹋 to provide expanded transfer opportunities for our graduates, he said. Our institutions share the same values offering quality higher education at an affordable cost in a student-centered environment of exceptional teaching and learning.
The terms of the agreement include:
- Students who are denied direct admission to 勛圖窪蹋 can receive conditional dual admission in partnership with Middlesex College. Students will attend classes at Middlesex but have access to campus housing, activities and student groups at 勛圖窪蹋 and receive a special 勛圖窪蹋 Identification card through 勛圖窪蹋s Transfer Pathways program.
- Students who successfully complete their associate degree at Middlesex College can automatically transfer to 勛圖窪蹋 with junior standing to complete their bachelors degree. Application fees to 勛圖窪蹋 will be waived for eligible students.
- Students who complete at least 36 credits at Middlesex College, and a total of 64 credits between the county college and the four-year institution, are eligible to receive a retroactive associate degree from Middlesex College. 勛圖窪蹋 and Middlesex College will co-host reverse transfer information sessions for students.
- 勛圖窪蹋 and Middlesex College will develop specific program-to-program articulation agreements for high-demand majors to facilitate the quality and ease of transfer.
- Students will receive joint advising from 勛圖窪蹋 and Middlesex College and a 勛圖窪蹋 advisor will have office space and a regular schedule at Middlesex.
- Students will be eligible for financial aid from whichever institution they are attending. 勛圖窪蹋 will provide five one-year scholarships of $2,000 per year to Middlesex College graduates whose admission to 勛圖窪蹋 is covered by the agreement.
- 勛圖窪蹋 and Middlesex College will establish an advisory committee to ensure best practices in recruitment, enrollment management, academic and student services, information technology, marketing and facilities use.
-
勛圖窪蹋 already has similar agreements with Atlantic Cape Community College, Brookdale Community College, Camden County College, Mercer County Community College, County College of Morris, Ocean County College, Rowan College of South Jersey, Rowan College at Burlington County, and Salem Community College and is pursuing additional partnerships with other community colleges in the state.
