In today’s competitive workforce, many students are
realizing that an associate’s degree is only the first stepping stone towards
achieving their career related goals. That’s why many of our students have
transferred to Peirce after graduating from community colleges throughout the
region to pursue their bachelor’s degree. If you know someone looking to pursue
their bachelors, read on and share this post with them to find out about
seamless transfer options and guaranteed scholarship opportunities.
At Peirce, we’ve partnered with almost all community
colleges in and around Philadelphia, South Jersey, and even a few in Delaware
to help students transition into one of our bachelor’s degree programs. A key
part in making these partnerships so effective is the roadmap agreements that
are in place. These agreements are developed in coordination with community
colleges to ensure that students graduating with an associate’s degree are
prepared to make a smooth transition into a bachelors program. They allow
community college graduates to start at Peirce with only about 60 credits
standing between them and their bachelor’s degree.
In addition to the roadmap that allows for a seamless
transition, students with an associate’s degree
are eligible for an
Articulation scholarship of up to $3,000 per year for up to 4 years. The
scholarship applies to recent community college graduates as well as those who
may be returning to school many years after they received their associate’s
degree. The total amount of scholarship funds you’ll earn is determined by your
final GPA upon graduation from your community college, and whether you plan to
enroll full time or part time.
When you’re ready to transfer, a counselor will sit down
with you to discuss all of your options. Once you’ve decided which path is best
for you, the process of transferring from community college into Peirce can be
done in four easy steps.
- Apply to Peirce.
- Provide a copy of your transcripts.
- Work with your advisor to select your courses and register.
- Complete the required paperwork to receive your Articulation scholarship.
