Jody Seutter, Vice President for Enrollment Management & Vice Provost said that this agreement is Bucks’ first articulation agreement with Jefferson University’s business school at the East Falls Campus. “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

Philip Russel, Jefferson’s School of Business Dean, notes “We are thrilled to begin a formal partnership with Bucks County Community College [BCCC], 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.”
