A new agreement between Butler County Community College and Penn State University will allow BC3 graduates to transfer all credits to any PSU campus across the state.
Students who earn associates degrees from BC3 can apply to any of the 14 PSU campuses and transfer all credits in pursuit of a bachelor’s degree.
BC3 President Dr. Nick Neupauer met with Dr. Kevin Snider, Chancellor, Penn State New Kensington, and Dr. Jo Anne Carrick, Director, Penn State Shenango to sign the agreement Wednesday in the Steffler Board Room on BC3’s Main Campus. Over 20 representatives from BC3 and various PSU Commonweath Campuses were also in attendance.
The BC3 transfer programs and Penn State programs included in the agreement are: Chemistry, A.S. to Earth Science, B.S.; Criminology, A.A. to Administration of Justice, B.S.; Business Administration, A.S. to Business, B.S.; Communications, A.A. to Communications, B.A.; Computer Science, A.S. to Information, Sciences, and Technology, B.S.; English, A.A. to English, B.A.; General Studies, A.A. to Human Development and Family Studies, B.S.; General Studies, A.A. to Letters, Arts, and Sciences, B.A.; General Studies, A.A. to Organizational Leadership, B.S.; Nursing, R.N., A.A.S. to Nursing, R.N., B.S.; and Psychology, A.A. to both Psychology, B.A. and Psychology, B.S.
“I am always excited when we provide our wonderful students with new opportunities; however, I can say this particular agreement with several of the Commonwealth campuses of Penn State has personal meaning,” Dr. Neupaur said in a statement. “I attended Penn State Beaver from 1985 to 1987 before transferring to University Park. That experience was a key reason why I even thought of advanced degrees and a career in education. Furthermore, some of my closest friends date back to my days at Penn State Beaver.”
PSU has 14 locations across the Commonwealth including: Beaver, DuBois, Fayette, Greater Allegheny, New Kensington, and Shenagno in western PA and Brandywine, Hazleton, Lehigh Valley, Mont Alto, Schuylkill, Wilkes-Barre, Worthington Scranton, and York in eastern PA.
