HCCC Establishes New Transfer Agreement with SUNY Cortland

Herkimer County Community College recently entered into a new transfer agreement with SUNY Cortland. The agreement creates a seamless transfer into Cortland’s Bachelor of Science Early Childhood and Childhood Education (ECD) program for HCCC students who complete the A.S. Liberal Arts and Sciences: Childhood Education program.

Additional requirements of the agreement include achievement of a minimum overall grade point average of 2.5. It must be noted, however, that program admissions standards may be significantly higher. The maximum number of credits completed at HCCC that can be applied toward the Cortland degree is 64. The HCCC transfer student will complete at least four semesters of course work at SUNY Cortland. Depending on chosen course load at Cortland, completing the program at SUNY Cortland will likely take 5 semesters.

HCCC has more than 150 transfer agreements with four year colleges and universities in both the private sector and SUNY. More than 60 percent of HCCC students transfer to continue their education after graduation.
