Penn State Abington

Summary

This agreement between Penn State Abington and Bucks County Community College establishes a transfer pathway for students who complete the Honors@Bucks Program and an associate degree at Bucks to gain guaranteed admission to the Penn State Abington Honors Program, provided they meet specified academic and conduct requirements. The agreement is designed to support a seamless transition for high-achieving students by recognizing the rigor of the Honors@Bucks curriculum while maintaining Penn State Abington’s existing transfer credit and degree requirements. Eligible students may also receive a transfer application fee waiver. The agreement outlines each institution’s responsibilities regarding advising, recruitment, communication, and assessment, and emphasizes collaboration to promote student success. While Honors@Bucks participation serves as a preferred admissions pathway, it does not automatically fulfill Penn State Abington Honors curriculum requirements. The agreement takes effect for qualifying students entering Penn State Abington beginning in Fall 2027 and remains in force until amended or terminated by either institution
