Community College of Philadelphia has two types of transfer agreements with Neumann University: dual admissions and program-to-program. To benefit from any of these agreements, students must earn an appropriate associate degree before transfer. These agreements are not exclusive of one another and can complement one another.
Dual Admissions
Neumann University and Community College of Philadelphia have developed a dual admissions agreement. This agreement is designed to assist students who earn an appropriate associate degree to transfer to Neumann University. Neumann University guarantees admissions on the condition that students meet all the requirements.
Admissions into a particular major is not guaranteed. Upon transfer, students earn junior standing for matching majors. Support and financial incentives, including scholarship awards, are built-in to offer students the best opportunity for success.
Dual admissions eligibility
Students who do not qualify for dual admissions, are still eligible to transfer to Neumann University. Please review the list of approved programs below and visit with a Community College of Philadelphia academic advisor or counselor for further assistance.
Program-to-Program
These are agreements in which an entire curriculum or program of study is accepted, so graduates of these specific associate degree programs transfer with advanced standing to a matching specific bachelor's degree program at Neumann University.
