An enrollment partnership agreement between Bucks County Community College (BCCC) and Thomas Jefferson University provides students at the public, two-year college with several paths to guaranteed admission to Thomas Jefferson University for baccalaureate degrees, officials announced recently.

With the agreement, Bucks’ Business Administration associate degree graduates can transfer seamlessly into Jefferson School of Business as juniors in Accounting, Fashion Merchandising & Management, Finance, Management, or Marketing, said a BCCC spokesperson.

To support their transition and success, eligible students will be able to take advantage of the following benefits as part of this enrollment partnership agreement: guaranteed admission with junior status, academic advising and course planning with Jefferson Transfer Admission Counselors, merit scholarship awards ranging from $16,000 to $22,000 per academic year, subject to eligibility requirements, financial aid, and waived application fee, according to Daniel J. Kanak, Vice President of Marketing & Communications.

A wide range of transfer agreements makes BCCC an affordable and high-quality choice for students to complete their first two years of a bachelor’s degree with minimal debt, Kanak said.
