In a significant step towards enhancing educational opportunities, Millersville University and Penn Highlands Community College signed a comprehensive transfer agreement this summer. This partnership is designed to streamline the academic transition for PHCC students aspiring to complete their bachelor’s degrees at MU, providing a clear path to achieving higher education goals.
PHCC becomes the sixth college to enter into a transfer agreement with Millersville University. The others are Cecil College, Community College of Philadelphia, Delaware County Community College, Harrisburg Area Community College and Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology.
“The agreement allows PHCC students to seamlessly transfer into MU’s online degree-completion programs, enabling them to finish their bachelor’s degrees as quickly as possible,” says Rebecca Boyer, director of online programs at Millersville University.
MU has established six articulation agreements with PHCC to facilitate smooth transfers for students with associate degrees. These agreements apply to the following PHCC programs, which will seamlessly transfer into MU’s corresponding online bachelor’s degree-completion programs:
- Liberal Arts & Sciences: Communication concentration to Communication with a concentration in Public Relations
- Early Childhood Education to Early Childhood Education
- Liberal Arts & Sciences: English concentration to English with a concentration in Writing Studies
- Marketing Management to Marketing
- Business Administration to Business Administration
- Business Management to Management
To be eligible for transfer, PHCC students must complete their associate’s degree with at least a 2.0 GPA and meet any required pre-requisite courses outlined in the articulation agreements.
The number of credits that can be transferred is unlimited. MU will accept as many credits from PHCC as possible. Students must complete at least 30 credits at Millersville to complete the degree.
Penn Highlands students looking to transfer to Millersville University Students can apply online at the Millersville University Application Portal and submit official transcripts electronically or by mail.
