Program Description

This program provides students with the means to progress beyond the standard number of credits corresponding to a first associate degree and earn a second associate degree while maintaining matriculation status and financial aid eligibility. Students committed to the RCBC/RU 3+1 program will initially matriculate in the RCBC major that corresponds to the Rowan University baccalaureate degree program of their choice. Subsequent to pursuing the initial associate degree, students will enroll and matriculate in Advanced and Continuous Studies. This second associate degree will be comprised of the already-earned general education credits and additional program courses needed to attain the approximately 90 unique credits required to directly transition into Rowan University's, or other four-year partnering institutions', senior year in their chosen baccalaureate program. Due to the complex nature of the Advanced and Continuous Studies, students are required to meet with an academic advisor prior to matriculating into the program.
