• Students are responsible for sending Millersville University official transcripts for evaluation of credit from Community College of Philadelphia and all other attended institutions, including military transcripts. Credit will also be awarded for AP, CLEP, DANTES, etc. with appropriate documentation, per guidelines established by the Transfer Articulation Oversight Committee (TAOC) of the PA Department of Education.

This allows a full-time student who enrolls at Millersville University to complete the B.S. in Music Industry program within four full-time fall/spring semesters or no more than 60 credits (or half of the bachelor’s degree) provided the student appropriately sequences their remaining course work at Millersville University, including all major, required related, and General Education requirements are completed, and that the 120 credit minimum has been attained.

• Students who have pursued a Community College of Philadelphia associate degree study other than the A.A.S. in Sound Recording and Music Technology or who do not earn the associate degree prior to transfer to Millersville University are not covered by this Agreement. Such students will be considered for admissions on an individual basis and their credits will be evaluated on a course-by-course basis. 

Community College of Philadelphia students pursuing the A.A.S. in Sound Recording and Music Technology are strongly encouraged to talk with the Community College of Philadelphia Music department to discuss this Agreement and develop a course taking strategy to maximize course transferability.
