Maximize your transfer options with Pathway to Success: Stronger Together.

Northampton Community CollegeEast Stroudsburg University

Pathway to Success: Stronger Together is the seamless and stress-free way you are able to use your hard-earned credits from NCC towards a baccalaureate degree at ESU. By earning your associate degree from NCC with a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.00, you are eligible to enter a four-year program at ESU with junior status (dependent upon the number of transfer credits and appropriate sequencing). You will not be required to complete more than 60 credits at ESU in order to earn a bachelor’s degree (unless you are transferring into a program with accreditation or licensing/certification standards that may require additional credits).

Don’t have an associate degree from NCC? No problem! You may still take advantage of seamless transfer options through Pathway to Success: Stronger Together while pursuing both your associate and baccalaureate degrees.
