Four members of our department attended the college transfer meet and greet today. We learned a lot about various transfer programs with local colleges and universities. Here are some points of interest from the session:
1. Penn State Abington will offer Accounting Bachelor degree starting Fall 2008
2. Temple University offering PhD in Toursim and Hospitality Management in Fall 2008 and they are also building a new business school.
3. Philadelphia University offers accelerated programs at their Trevose locations, accepts up to 72 BCCC credits, and offers scholarships for transfer students with GPA of 3.0 or higher.
4. Central PA College will open a Lehigh Valley location and offer a totally online accounting degree.
5. Edinboro University out in Western PA caters to transfer students with disabilities - they even have a wheelchair basketball team!
6. Delaware Valley College is getting a new president coming from Columbia University. Look for many changes in their programs to come.
7. Again, LaSalle University is offering a cohort format in a day program at their Newtown campus for business administration students...also for criminal justice.
8. Gwynedd-Mercy College offers significant scholarship opportunities for transfer students.
