Agreement/Transfer Information

Core-to-Core/Dual Admission Agreement with Bucks

Under this agreement, LaSalle University's Core requirements will essentially be fulfilled by completing the Associate of Arts degree in the transfer majors designated below (see Program Articulations) with a grade point average of 2.5 or better.

Students who graduate with the designated associate degree program must complete "core qualifiers". For most programs, this requirement is:

(1) religion course
(1) philosophy course
(1) introductory computer science course (CISC100, CISC110, or CISC115 at Bucks)

The qualifying courses can be completed at LaSalle (within the final two years of study) as the student proceeds through his or her program of study at the University. However, if applicable, students may be able to complete "qualifier" courses as part of their program at BCCC, as long as these credits are within the maximum of 70 credits permitted in transfer.

Dual Admission

Students will sign a Dual Admission Application before completing 45 credits at BCCC. The Dual Admission Form will serve as the application form to La Salle University, indicating the student's interest in attending La Salle after completion of a designated associate degree program at BCCC. Once that student has completed the Dual Admission Form, he or she will be required to forward all final transcripts from BCCC to La Salle to verify that conditions of this agreement have been met. There is no fee required for the Dual Admission Form.

What this means

Upon transfer, the Core-to-Core* agreement allows the transfer student to primarily concentrate on completing the remaining courses in the major and the free electives in the junior and senior year.

*In most instances, students are able to complete the core qualifiers (1 Religion, 1 Philosophy, 1 Computer Science) as part of their Bucks program of study or prior to transferring to LaSalle
