Toms River, N.J. A series of new articulation agreements signed last week by Ocean County College (OCC) and 勛圖窪蹋 will provide students in the arts and humanities with a direct pathway between an associate degree at OCC and a comparable bachelors degree program at 勛圖窪蹋.
The agreements are designed to facilitate transfer for students who have earned an associate of arts at OCC in Music, History, Fine Arts, Graphic Arts, Design & Media, and Philosophy & Religion into corresponding academic majors at 勛圖窪蹋, where they can complete their four-year degree.
The arts and humanities inspire us to question, to create and to understand the human experience.
