Sussex County Community College announced April 8 that it has signed an articulation agreement with William Paterson University, creating streamlined transfer pathways across more than 35 academic programs.
The partnership is designed to simplify the transfer process for SCCC graduates by ensuring credits earned at the two-year college apply directly toward bachelor’s degree programs at William Paterson. College officials said the agreement aligns curricula and advising practices to improve access and affordability for students pursuing four-year degrees.
“This agreement represents a significant step forward in our commitment to student success,” SCCC President Cory Homer said. “By creating clear, streamlined pathways to William Paterson University, we are making it easier than ever for our students to transfer, stay on track, and complete their degrees in a timely and affordable manner.”
Programs covered under the agreement span multiple disciplines, including business, education, criminal justice, liberal arts and STEM fields. Students will have access to coordinated academic advising and, in many cases, guaranteed transfer options.
Homer also credited Associate Vice President of Academic Affairs Nancy Gallo for her role in developing the partnership.
College officials said the agreement reflects a shared effort between the institutions to expand educational access and support student achievement.
