Agreement/Transfer Information
Core-to-Core Agreement
Arcadia University agrees to accept the general education embedded in the Bucks A.A. and A.S. degrees as meeting all the requirements of its undergraduate general education requirements, except for the Global Connections Experience and Reflection and the Senior Capstone Course. (In the case where the student does not earn a “B” or better in English Composition I, a placement exam will be administered.) The Core-to-Core agreement allows the transfer student to concentrate primarily on completing the remaining courses in the major during the junior and senior years.
