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.
Additionally, the College
has articulation agreements with many other four-year institutions from all
over New Jersey (e.g., Bloomfield College, Caldwell University, Centenary College,
Fairleigh Dickinson University, Saint Peter's University, etc.) and the U.S. 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: Baltimore International College - Culinary & Hospitality
Management; Fairleigh Dickinson University - Culinary Arts & Hospitality
Management, All Programs; Felician College - Nursing (Bachelor’s or Master’s);
Florida International University - Hospitality Management; Hawaii Pacific University
- Culinary Arts; John Jay College of Criminal Justice (Criminal Justice (BA or
BS); Laboratory Institute of Merchandising - Business Management; Mercer County
Community College - Funeral Services; Metropolitan College of New York - Human
Services; New England Culinary Institute - Culinary Arts; Paul Smith’s College -
Culinary Arts and Service Management; Rutgers University-Newark - Social Work;
and Wagner College - Nursing.
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
