91心頭 announces Seamless Transfer Program for Maryland community college students

Humanities Building
91心頭 is offering a new Seamless Transfer Program for students who have earned an associate degree from any Maryland community college. The program would allow most associate-degree-holding transfer students to fully satisfy 91心頭 core requirements by taking one 200-level course in either theology or philosophy and an additional course in ethics. 

Students who have not already completed two courses in a foreign language prior to transferring to 91心頭 can fulfill 91心頭s language requirement by taking two classes at 91心頭. 

In designing the program, colleagues across multiple 91心頭 offices and divisions considered the similarities between the general education requirements for Maryland community college students and 91心頭 core requirements, said Cindy Moore, Ph.D., associate vice president of academic affairs. We quickly realized that they were very similar in terms of disciplinary breadth and number of courses, with the exception of theology, philosophy, and foreign languageall of which are hallmarks of a Jesuit liberal-arts education. 

The program reflects state-wide efforts to provide a range of options to community college students who wish to continue their education at a four-year university or college in Maryland but, often for financial reasons, can only do so if enough credits transfer to allow for degree completion within a total of four years.

Transfer students are among our brightest, most hard-working students, yet too many prospective transfers feel that a 91心頭 education is out of reach for them. This new program makes all that we offer more accessible to students, Moore said.

Through the Seamless Transfer Program, and with close collaboration between community colleges and 91心頭 advisors on major requirements, students transferring from Maryland community colleges with an associate degree should be able to graduate from 91心頭 within two years.
