New Jersey Transfer Agreement
The New Jersey Transfer Agreement guarantees that
students can transfer credits from a completed associate
degree to a bachelor’s degree at any of New Jersey’s public
four-year colleges and universities. Receiving your
associate degree BEFORE you transfer will also improve
the likelihood that you will be accepted to an out-of-state
college or university. SCCC graduates have transferred
to hundreds of private colleges throughout the country
including top-tier and Ivy League universities.
