INTRODUCTION

This transfer guide was created to facilitate the transfer process for students from Herkimer County Community College to the University at Albany, State University of New York.

Ideally, the transfer guide provides students with a plan of study which, if completed, allows completion of the associate's degree and the bachelor's degree in eight semesters of full-time study or the equivalent. The guide also outlines specific admission requirements which must be satisfied before a student may enroll in a restricted program.

Of equal importance, the transfer guide acts as a catalyst for discussion in the advising process in planning course electives to satisfy program requirements. Ultimately, the goal of this transfer guide is to provide students with the best educational experience from both Herkimer County Community College and the University at Albany.

Not every associate's degree program at Herkimer County Community College will have a corresponding major and degree program at Albany. As a result, the Herkimer County Community College degree programs included within the agreement were selected because of their similarity to majors and degree programs offered at the University at Albany. The coursework within each PROGRAM OF STUDY was selected to ensure that a student completing the program and receiving the associate's degree would realize the maximum amount of transfer credit and achieve a smooth transition when transferring to Albany.
