Where do Bucks students transfer?
Our students transfer to colleges and universities across the country and abroad. Many choose to stay closer to home, taking their studies to such Pennsylvania schools as Temple University, Penn State, Bloomsburg, East Stroudsburg, Kutztown, Millersville, and West Chester-and also area private schools, such as Albright, Arcadia, Delaware Valley, Drexel, Gwynedd-Mercy, Holy Family, Jefferson, LaSalle, Philadelphia U, and Rider. Explore the PA State System of Higher Education universities at PASSHE.
How Do I Know How Bucks Courses Will Transfer?
Many colleges and universities have lists that indicate which specific Bucks courses are equivalent to courses at their four-year institution. (Keep in mind that although a course is equivalent, it may not be required for a particular bachelor's degree program.) Use the Transfer Equivalency Tool to find out which courses at which schools are considered equivalent. To see how many PA schools transfer credit, visit www.PAcollegetransfer.com
Special Agreements Can Smooth the Path
Many colleges and universities have made the transfer planning process smoother by outlining how Bucks courses can fit into bachelor's degree requirements. Check out our transfer agreements and program guides. You may also be interested in Intent forms/Dual Admission opportunities, which enable you to be assured of admission into a partner institution, if you meet the requirements of the agreement.
