What are Lackawanna College's transfer agreements?

I'm planning to transfer out of Lackawanna College and am curious about any existing transfer agreements they might have with four-year schools. Does anyone know which universities have agreements? Any advice on making the transfer process smoother?

Lackawanna College has quite an extensive network of partnerships with four-year institutions for credit transfer from its associate degree programs. This approach simplifies the transition process for students like yourself, wishing to complete bachelor’s degrees after finishing their associate degrees at Lackawanna.

Lackawanna has partnerships with a variety of universities. Some established partners include Bloomsbury University, Marywood University, Penn State University, Temple University, University of Scranton, and Wilkes University, among others. You may want to reach out to the Transfer Services office at Lackawanna to learn more about the individual partnership agreements and to see which program has a seamless transfer pathway that aligns with your long-term academic and career goals.

As for advice on making the transfer process smooth, here are some tips:

1. Start early: The earlier you research your transfer options and understand the policies and requirements, the smoother the transition.

2. Ask Questions: Communicate with your current advisor at Lackawanna, as well as your prospective university's admissions or transfer services office. Ask about particular transfer agreements or any course transferability questions.

3. Maintain Good Grades: Generally, universities prefer students with strong academic records, and some transfer agreements may require a minimum GPA.

4. Collect Documentation: This includes things like transcripts, course syllabi, and recommendation letters that often are required during the transfer process.

5. File Financial Aid Documentation: Don't forget to transfer your FAFSA or any relevant financial aid documents to your prospective university.

Each transfer agreement has unique elements, so it's essential to read and understand the terms of your specific program to maximize the credits you can transfer. Good luck!
