BCC signs first online business transfer articulation agreement

Bristol Community College Business graduates can complete a four-year degree from Westfield State College in the comfort of their own home, with guaranteed acceptance as juniors.
 
Bristol has signed the first statewide articulation agreement for an online distance learning program with a state college. Eligible BCC students in the Business Administration Transfer program are allowed complete transfer of credit toward a Bachelor of Science in Business Management degree with a concentration in Management at Westfield State College (WSC) in Westfield, MA.
 
Through this unique agreement, transfer students from BCC can complete the Bachelor of Science in Business Management degree at WSC by taking courses entirely online, allowing them to continue their education while remaining in the area. Students can also enjoy the benefits of the Joint Admission Program and the Tuition Advantage Program at BCC, which aid students in the process of transferring to four-year institutions. Joint Admission guarantees acceptance of all Bristol credits at Westfield, so qualified students holding the Business Administration Transfer degree from BCC are guaranteed admission as juniors. Tuition Advantage allows students with a 3.0 or better at BCC to receive a 33 percent discount on tuition at Westfield State.
 
All 15 Massachusetts community colleges have signed this agreement.
