Delhi, NY (10/29/2019) — SUNY Delhi has signed a comprehensive new transfer agreement with Westchester Community College, guaranteeing students who complete one of 19 associate degrees at Westchester a seamless transfer into one of 13 corresponding bachelor programs at SUNY Delhi.

With this agreement, Westchester Community College students graduating from an associate program with a minimum of 2.0 grade point average will be directly admitted into a bachelor program at SUNY Delhi. SUNY Delhi's nursing program requires a 2.8 GPA or higher and the Veterinary Technology program requires a 3.0 GPA or higher. A maximum of 64 credits will be applied toward the completion of the bachelor program at SUNY Delhi.

"This extensive agreement encompasses a very diverse set of academic programs, thereby allowing students from Westchester Community College the opportunity to transfer directly into any one of our five academic schools at SUNY Delhi," said SUNY Delhi Provost Kelli Ligeikis. "The combined efforts of Westchester Community College and SUNY Delhi will open doors and ensure long-term pathways for educational success for our students."

"SUNY Delhi is pleased to offer Westchester Community College students an excellent, affordable transfer option to continue their education in one of our outstanding bachelor programs," said Misty Fields, Associate Director of Admissions at SUNY Delhi. "The agreement is unique due to the multitude of programs it covers, especially in the areas of applied sciences and applied technologies. We are confident that Westchester Community College students will thrive in the student-centered learning environment at SUNY Delhi."

"Our main goal is to help students succeed. Expanding our transfer pathways with new agreements with four-year institutions helps our students move on toward promising opportunities in the classroom and the workplace," said Westchester Community College Vice President of Academic Affairs Vanessa Morest. "This is another step toward our mission to simplify and redesign the student experience. The agreement will make it easier for our students to achieve their dreams."

To encourage students to take advantage of the new partnership, SUNY Delhi will award two one-time $1,000 SUNY Delhi/Westchester Community College Pathways Transfer Scholarships to a student who resides on campus and a student enrolled in an online program. The scholarships require each student to maintain full-time student status with a cumulative GPA of 3.0.

SUNY Delhi offers more than 50 academic programs with flexible options for students seeking a hands-on, career-focused education as well as those looking to build a strong academic foundation for advanced study. From culinary arts to nursing, Delhi's associate and bachelor degree programs both on campus and online have earned state and national acclaim for academic excellence.
