NJCU at Bergen County Community College

DUAL ADMISSIONS PROGRAM AGREEMENT

BERGEN COMMUNITY COLLEGE AND NEW JERSEY CITY UNIVERSITY

Purpose and Goals

This program is designed to offer students a unique opportunity to complete a bachelor’s degree “seamlessly” at two institutions of higher education. Under this agreement students will enter into a sequential degree program wherein a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in National Security Studies degree at New Jersey City University (NJCU) is predicated upon conferral of an Associate of Science (A.S.) degree at Bergen Community College (BCC).  Students who participate in this program will be initially identified by BCC, who will provide notification to NJCU prior to the completion of designated A.S. degree program.  BCC will monitor the academic progress of students covered by this Dual Admissions Program Agreement.  Students who subsequently complete their A.S. degree program and fulfill all criteria of this Dual Admissions Program Agreement will enter NJCU as fully matriculated students with junior-year standing.
