Are you considering transferring after completing your Penn Highlands degree?
Penn Highlands is an excellent place to start your bachelor's degree. We work hard to build transfer pathways for our students so that they do not lose time or money while pursuing their degree.
How do we help our students?
What is an Articulation Agreement?
An agreement between two colleges that help to support transferring students by specifying how credits will transfer directly into a specific program of study. So, in other words, a program-to-program pathway between two institutions. These agreements help to protect the student from losing credits upon transfer enabling them to confidently take classes for the specific purpose of transfer.

Have Questions?
We can help you find what you are looking for. Please contact the Sr. Advising Specialist, the Student Success Center or the Registrar's Office with questions.
What are Course Equivalencies?
Course Equivalencies are courses that have been reviewed by a transfer institution and determined to match something within that institution's catalog. For example, ENG110 English Composition 1 is equivalent to the Composition 1 class at Pitt-Johnstown or Indiana University of PA.
The following downloadable PDFs contain lists of courses that have previously transferred from Penn Highlands to our more popular local colleges. This is NOT a complete list of transfer courses.

Transfer equivalencies for classes at PA Community Colleges and PA State System of Higher Education can be found on PATRAC.org.
College Visits:
On Wednesdays, we invite our partnering colleges and universities to host information tables outside of the Black Bear Café at the Richland campus. We recommend students bring a copy of their unofficial transcript when they stop by to chat with college representatives. Some colleges offer a presentation specific to transfer advising during their visit to campus. Students are welcome to join via Zoom for any of the scheduled presentation.
Transfer Fairs:
Each semester we host a Transfer Fair Event where students can meet in-person with college transfer counselors from various institutions. If you are interested in continuing your education and getting a bachelor’s degree, this is your chance to explore and find the best transfer opportunity for you. At the fair you can conveniently meet with multiple college representatives from various institutions all in one location .
Please see the Important Dates section on the Career & Transfer Planning Homepage for information on when your intended college or university will be on campus, or available to meet virtually and to find upcoming transfer related events.
Please make sure you are working with your faculty advisor AND the Sr. Advising Specialist when creating your plan for transfer. It is important to be familiar with the degree requirements, transfer admission requirements, and course equivalencies for the college or university where you plan to attend after graduating from Penn Highlands.
