“The addition of the business school pathways is a welcome development as Jefferson has been a valued educational partner for quite some time and we look forward to further opportunities to strengthen our partnership and provide such valuable benefits to our graduates.” 

Thanks to this enrollment partnership agreement, eligible students will have access to the following benefits to help them navigate the transfer experience and support their success:

  • Guaranteed admission with junior status
  • Academic advising and course planning with Jefferson Transfer Admission Counselors
  • Consideration for merit scholarship awards ranging from $16,000 to $22,000 per academic year, subject to eligibility requirements
  • Financial aid
  • Waived application fee 

Philip Russel, Jefferson’s School of Business dean, said, “We are thrilled to begin a formal partnership with Bucks County Community College and to welcome the school’s students to our East Falls Campus. I am sure that this opportunity will create exciting pathways for BCCC students to continue their education and succeed in their future professional careers. It will also encourage collaboration among the students at the institutions through shared co-curricular programming.” 

BCCC has more than 125 transfer agreements with 56 colleges and universities, making it a high-quality and affordable choice for students to complete their first two years of a bachelor’s degree and keep student debt to a minimum.
