General Information About Transferring to Albany
TRANSFER AGREEMENTS
The academic programs in this booklet define the specific agreements reached between the two institutions for specific majors in the Arts and Sciences. Criminal Justice and Human Services are also included.
There are formal agreements for:
ARTS AND SCIENCES
Biology English Chemistry Mathematics Computer Science Psychology SPECIAL/PROFESSIONAL PROGRAMS
Business Administration Criminal Justice Human Services The transfer agreements specify the following:
Broome students who follow a program as outlined and receive an associate's degree and are admitted to the University at Albany will be awarded full transfer credit and have the opportunity to complete the bachelor's degree program in four additional semesters of full-time study or the equivalent. The programs are designed to lay the foundation of introductory and intermediate level coursework (when possible) in the major area and in some instances the minor field of study.
The transfer programs for which specific formal agreements exist are listed under TRANSFER AGREEMENTS outlined in a later part of this publication. A complete listing of all undergraduate majors available at the University at Albany also follows.
QUESTION: I am interested in a major for which a TRANSFER AGREEMENT or PROGRAM OF STUDY has not been worked out. Can I still transfer to Albany after I complete my associate's degree?
ANSWER: Yes. Albany will consider a transfer application from any qualified applicant. However, you will need to plan your associate degree program carefully in order to ensure maximum transferability of credit. Additionally, some of the introductory coursework required for your intended program is offered only at Albany; you may wish to take advantage of the cross-registration agreement and cross-register for courses at Albany. Contact your cross-registration coordinator for details (Broome Access Center).
Finally, you should be aware that it may take longer than four additional semesters of study to complete your bachelor's degree at Albany. The Broome Community College Counseling Center and Albany advising staffs are ready to assist you to develop a best fit program.
The transfer program outlines which appear later in the Guide list the exact courses by Broome designation (with Albany equivalents in parenthesis) which must be followed for the majors where transfer agreements have been finalized. The series of courses within the PROGRAM OF STUDY allow students to move immediately and directly into the upper division (junior/senior) course requirements.
