Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics Department
Founders 110 • Phone (215) 968-8305
Curriculum Code No.1146

This major is intended for students whose educational goals are not met by the College's other transfer majors. It allows a student to build a sequence of courses to satisfy specific requirements of a particular four-year college. Upon successful completion it results in the award of the Associate of Arts degree.

Graduates of this program will be able to:

  • Develop a plan for achieving vocational and/or transfer goals.
  • Prepare a clearly delineated transfer plan tailored to the transfer school of choice.
  • Demonstrate Technological Competence as appropriate to transfer major or create and modify word processing, spreadsheet, and electronic presentation documents using appropriate features of the selected application.

Students are admitted to this major only after they have identified the major and the four-year college into which they wish to transfer. They must also document that no other major will allow them to complete the associate of arts degree and transfer all of the required credits. Students are required to supply a catalog from the college or university to which they wish to transfer. They must meet with the Dean of the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics Department to develop a Transfer Education Plan. This plan must be approved by the Provost.
