30-credit Transfer Credit Framework

PA State System of HigherEd (Business Administration, Computer Science, Criminal Justice. Early Childhood Education, Social Work and Psychology)
Pennsylvania's Public School Code of 1949 requires the colleges and universities that participate in the commonwealth's Statewide College Credit Transfer System to develop agreements that will allow students to transfer full Associate of Arts (AA) and Associate of Science (AS) degrees into parallel bachelor degree programs at the participating institutions with junior standing. Students completing the Business Administration AS, the Computer Science AS, the Criminal Justice AS, the Early Childhood Education AA, the Social Work AA or the Psychology AA will be able to transfer the equivalent of the first two years of a bachelor’s degree to any one of the fourteen four-year universities in the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education and complete the remainder of their degree program in just two more years of full-time study.Click here to learn more.
PA State-Related Institutions (General Education Credits)
To assist students as they prepare to transfer, each state-related institution has identified at least 30 credits from the Transfer Credit Framework that will transfer and count toward the general education requirements for most majors at their institutions. Courses listed in the Transfer Credit Framework represent the type of coursework that is generally completed during the first and second year of a bachelor degree program. These courses are good choices for students who are undecided about the major they wish to pursue or the institution where they plan to transfer.Click here to learn more.
