BCCC Graduates 28 Practical Nursing Students to Ease Healthcare Shortage

 Bucks County Community College, which has been training practical nurses for nearly 25 years, honored the class of 2026 with a graduation ceremony on Wednesday, July 1, at the Newtown Campus. The 28 graduates of the full-time, one-year accelerated program are prepared to take the NCLEX state licensing exam to become licensed practical nurses, or LPNs, and meet the high demand for nurses in our community. The class ranged in age from 21 to 50 years old, and hailed from the U.S., Liberia, Georgia, Nigeria, South Korea, Russia, and Ukraine. Meanwhile, the next class in the PN program starts in mid-July. Pre-admission testing for the 2027 cohort begins in September. Learn more by visiting the practical nursing program page or by emailing pnursing@bucks.edu. At least one graduate of Bucks County Community College’s Practical Nursing Program is ready to rest after completing the 12-month, full-time accelerated program that included early morning classes and clinical rotations. A ceremony took place July 1 at the Newtown Campus for 28 graduates, who are now poised to take state licensing exams to become Licensed Practical Nurses, or LPNs. Last year’s class had an NCLEX pass rate of 100%, with an average of a 98% pass rate over the last five years.

BCCC and Temple University Create New Pathway for Honors Students

 Bucks County Community College has strengthened its partnership with Temple University, a top 50 public institution, ranked in the top quartile of all national universities, to create a new pathway for Honors@Bucks students to smoothly transfer into the Temple University Honors Program. The Honors-to-Honors Agreement, signed on Thursday, June 25 at Bucks County Community College’s Newtown Campus, enhances collaboration between the two institutions in support of high-achieving, highly motivated students. “The Honors-to-Honors Agreement with Temple University is a testament to the high caliber of the Honors@Bucks program,” said Bucks County Community College President & CEO Patrick M. Jones, Ph.D. “This partnership with Temple will provide the opportunity for our top academic performers to continue their education as honors students at one of the finest public universities in the country.” Students who take advantage of the agreement will benefit from academic excellence, research opportunities, and being part of a scholarly community in the honors programs at both institutions. In addition, aligned advising, curriculum planning, and student support services will enhance their experience. “We are delighted to partner with Bucks County Community College to create this new Honors-to-Honors Agreement that will ultimately bring more highly talented, motivated students to North Broad Street,” Temple President John Fry said. “One of the distinguishing ideals and values of Temple Honors is Access Reimagined, as we want to embrace a flexible model where students can enter our program through multiple entry points. This initiative directly supports that approach.” The Honors-to-Honors Agreement comes at a time when Temple’s Honors Program has significant momentum as it is in the process of transitioning to a formal honors college. Earlier this spring, Temple announced that a historic gift from Jane Creamer Sullivan, KLN ’70, will lead to the creation of the Jane Creamer Sullivan and Thomas J. Sullivan Honors College. The college is expected to launch in fall 2027. The creation of the Sullivan Honors College will elevate and reimagine Temple’s existing honors program as it will embrace an approach that is shaped by the university’s strengths, values, and character. Currently, Temple’s Honors Program enrolls approximately 2,100 undergraduate students. The establishment of the Sullivan Honors College will dramatically expand opportunities for top students. Bucks County Community College serves more than 11,000 credit students and 25,000 non-credit students annually. “Each year, we graduate over 400 students who earn Latin honors in our rigorous academic programs,” said Jones. “This Honors-to-Honors Agreement will provide these graduates with new opportunities as members of a scholarly community at one of the country’s most dynamic universities.” The Honors-to-Honors Agreement is also the latest example of an ongoing partnership between Bucks County Community College and Temple. In addition to 15 active degree program-to-program agreements, a 2+2 dual admission agreement is already in place allowing students to be dually admitted to both institutions and save almost $30,000 by completing their first two years at Bucks before transferring to Temple for their last two years.

BCCC and Ursinus Sign New Dual Admission Transfer Agreement

 Bucks County Community College, which consistently ranks among the best value two-year colleges in the state, has signed a transfer agreement with Ursinus College, a top-ranked liberal arts college in nearby Collegeville, Pa. The dual admission and core-to-core agreement will allow graduates from Bucks to seamlessly transfer to Ursinus. The dual admission agreement goes even further allowing students to be simultaneously admitted to both institutions and includes generous merit scholarship opportunities, particularly for honors students who can receive $43,000 per year. "This is a unique educational opportunity of high academic quality," noted Bucks County Community College President and CEO, Patrick M. Jones, Ph.D. "In addition to our dual admission agreements with top-ranked national universities, such as Penn State, Drexel, and Temple Universities, students at Bucks will now have the opportunity for dual admission to one of the finest liberal arts colleges in the country." Ursinus is ranked in the top 100 of national liberal arts colleges by U.S. News and World Report, Jones noted, and is one of only 40 institutions chronicled in the book "Colleges That Change Lives" by Loren Pope. "This new partnership reflects our shared commitment to expanding educational access and opportunity and to supporting student success," said Ursinus President Gundolf Graml, Ph.D. "By establishing a direct and supportive transfer pathway to Ursinus College, we are helping students continue their academic journeys with confidence at a college where an applied liberal arts approach and immersive experiential learning opportunities prepare graduates to think critically, lead effectively, and thrive in whatever careers they pursue." The presidents of both colleges signed the agreement Wednesday, June 10, in a ceremony at Ursinus in Collegeville.
