Transfer to Four-Year Colleges

Many MCCC students transfer to colleges and universities throughout the country each year, and Mercer has agreements with a number of institutions for guaranteed transfer admission.

Planning is key to ensure a smooth transition to a four year institution. It’s important for community college students to select an associate degree program that aligns with their anticipated bachelor’s degree major to ensure a successful transfer.

Students who plan to transfer should contact MCCC’s Transfer Services for help selecting courses and identifying transfer institutions that suit their individual needs and educational goals. To aid in this process, Mercer offers transfer workshops and “transfer day” events with representatives from area colleges and universities. MCCC Transfer Services maintains regular contact with transfer institutions.

Transfer Within New Jersey

Many four-year colleges and universities in New Jersey have adopted “Transfer and Articulation Principles” and a “General Education Foundation” to help maximize transfer credits for courses taken at community colleges. Although Mercer’s degree programs align with these statewide agreements, admission to a four-year institution is not guaranteed, and admission requirements vary.

Students can transfer their academic credits from a completed community college Associate of Arts (A.A.) or Associate of Science (A.S.) degree program to Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) or Bachelor of Science (B.S.) programs, respectively, as half of the credits required for a four-year degree.

Using the online information system NJ Transfer (www.njtransfer.org), students can check the transferability of their Mercer courses and plan a program of study that will transfer to the New Jersey college of their choice.
