Agreement/Transfer Information
Guaranteed Transfer Admission Agreement:
The Guaranteed Transfer Admissions agreement facilitates the transfer of Bucks students who have completed a Bucks A.A. or A.S. degree. Subject to the terms of this agreement, a student who completes the Associate degree at Bucks will be conditionally admitted* into a related Bachelor’s degree program at Cabrini and assured third year (junior) status. The length of time required for a full-time student to complete the requirements for the Bachelor’s degree varies by degree program. However, in general, a full-time student can complete most Bachelor’s degree programs within four regular semesters, providing the student appropriately schedules and successfully completes (without repeating courses) his or her remaining courses at Cabrini.
*Full admission will be granted after the submission of all required documents including, but not limited to, completed application, transcripts and portfolio (if required).
Core-to-Core Agreement:
In addition, Cabrini agrees to accept the General Education Core embedded in the Bucks Associate of Arts and Associate of Science degrees as meeting all the requirements of its undergraduate Core Curriculum, with the exception of three credits of religious studies, if not already completed at another regionally accredited college, and ECG 300 - “Engagements with the Common Good” course. The Religious Studies course may be taken at Bucks. ECG 300 must be taken at Cabrini.
This core-to-core agreement applies to all Bucks A.A and A.S. graduates, and is not limited to students who participate in the Guaranteed Transfer Admissions agreement.
