RN-BS

• Berkshire Community College graduates may transfer up to 38 nursing portfolio credits upon successful enrollment in UMass Dartmouth's RN-BS online degree program.
• These credits coupled with the transfer of 33 non-nursing credits from the Berkshire Community College associate degree in nursing, results in a cumulative total of 71 transfer credits applied to the BS in Nursing program at Umass Dartmouth.

OTD Transfer Program

• The Associate to OTD Transfer Program is intended to facilitate the transfer of eligible participating students from BCC to a WNEU 3+3 OTD dual degree program (BS in Health Studies), then the OTD program upon completion of their associate degree program at BCC and satisfaction of other applicable conditions required under this transfer agreement.
• A student will be eligible to participate in the Associate's to OTD Transfer Program if they are enrolled in the AS Pre-professional Transfer Option: Health Science program which has been identified as meeting the major requirements for transfer to a WNEU 3+3 baccalaureate degree.
• Students will be informed about the opportunity to participate in the Associate's to OTD Transfer Program at the time they are applying to BCC. For purposes of advising, students can indicate their desire to participate in the Associate's to 3+3 OTD Transfer Program at the time of their matriculation at BCC.
• In order to satisfy the conditions of admissions into a 3+3 OTD dual degree program at WNEU, participating students must earn a minimum 3.20 cumulative grade point average during their Associate Degree and in their coursework at WNEU (based on a 4.00 scale), earn at least a grade of a C- or better in their major, at least a C or better in OTD prerequisite coursework, and earn their Associate's degree.
• The Associate's to OTD Transfer Agreement consists of three phases:
  • Phase 1: Completion of associate degree at BCC, incorporating major and prerequisite requirements for the BS in Health Studies degree and the OTD program at WNEU. Apply for transfer into the 3+3 OTD program in Health Studies at WNEU.
  • Phase 2: Transfer to WNEU at Junior status; complete major requirements for the BS in Health Studies degree and prerequisite requirements for the OTD program. Indicate continued interest in the OTD program in Spring of Junior year through internal WNEU info sheet (no formal application required).
  • Phase 3: Direct admission into the 3-year OTD program in Senior year if all prerequisite and admissions requirements are met.

Benefits:

• Guaranteed Acceptance to the WNEU 3+3 Health Studies-OTD program provided they complete the approved Pre-professional Transfer Option: Health Science degree at BCC and meet the requirements of the Associate's to OTD Transfer Program and major specific requirements; and WNE has capacity within the intended major.
• Guarantee of Junior Status at WNEU upon matriculation with an associate degree.
• Guarantee of 60 transfer credits (although credits are guaranteed to transfer, some may transfer as only electives, or may not apply to a program's requirements).
• Waiver of the WNE General University Requirements for students completing their associate degree and the Mass Transfer General Education Foundation Block. Students who complete the STEM Gen Ed Foundation Block will be required to take 6 additional credits selecting from any WNE-approved General University Requirement courses.
• BCC students who transfer into a WNE 3+3 dual degree OTD program are guaranteed admission to the WNEU Doctor of Occupational Therapy program after completion of their Junior year, provided they meet the major specific requirements for their bachelor's degree, prerequisite and admissions requirements for the OTD program, and earn a minimum 3.20 cumulative grade point average (based on a 4.00 scale).

To facilitate a clean transfer and an articulated agreement between BCC and WNEU College of Pharmacy, students will complete their Associate's Degree at BCC by completing the following courses and requirements listed below. The courses within the Health Science Pre-Professional Transfer option will satisfy 53 credits of the WNEU prerequisite credits. The remaining 14 credits of prerequisites are necessary prior to matriculation at WNEU.
