As of June 1, 2022, Saint Joseph's University and University of the Sciences in Philadelphia have merged into one university to be called Saint Joseph's University. 

Students interested in pursuing academic programs offered by the former University of the Sciences will instead seek those programs through Saint Joseph's University.

Community College of Philadelphia has two types of transfer agreements with Saint Joseph's University's Adult Learner Program: 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 the agreements can complement one another.

Saint Joseph's University's Adult Learner Programs are offered in an online and part-time format. Community College of Philadelphia does not have an agreement with Saint Joseph's University's traditional day programs, but students are still welcome to apply as a traditional full-time transfer student.

Dual Admissions

Saint Joseph's 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 Saint Joseph's University's Adult Learner Program. Saint Joseph's 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 Saint Joseph's 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 Saint Joseph's University's Adult Learner Program.
