Under New Jersey law, students completing an Associate of Arts or Associate of Science at Hudson County Community College - or any of the state’s 19 community colleges - are guaranteed full-junior status upon acceptance to all of New Jersey's state colleges or universities.

Hudson County Community College also has enhanced dual admission agreements with several colleges and universities that streamline the admission process with onsite staff, offer special tuition discounts and scholarship opportunities, and guarantee seamless transfer.

Additionally, the College has program-specific articulation agreements with many other four-year institutions from throughout New Jersey and the United States.

These agreements guarantee that if a student graduates in a specific program with a predetermined GPA (grade point average) and has followed a prescribed course of study, he/she will be guaranteed junior status and the same rights as those students who originally began their studies at that four-year school.

The following four-year colleges and universities have specialized articulation agreements with HCCC, and have agreed to accept most - if not all - of the credits from a specific HCCC academic program upon completion of an appropriate Associate degree:

• Clarion University- Radiography
• Florida International University - Hospitality Management;
• New England Culinary Institute - Culinary Arts;
• Rutgers University-Newark - Social Work;

Did you know? Transfer students who have earned their Associate degrees have a better chance of being admitted to four-year colleges and universities because possessing an Associate degree demonstrates a high level of commitment and dedication!

HCCC regularly holds workshops to familiarize students with the transfer process. We recommend students attend a workshop and consult with our Transfer advisors during their very first semester of taking college-level courses
