General Information:
This transfer guide was developed in support of the Core-to-Core and Program-to-Program transfer articulation Agreement and between Community College of Philadelphia and Bryn Mawr College. It shows how the Associate in Arts (A.A.) in English at Community College of Philadelphia transfers to the “Artium Baccalaureus” (A.B.) (Latin for Bachelor of Arts) in English at Bryn Mawr College and then shows the remaining requirements at Bryn Mawr College.
Completion of the A.A. in English as described in this guide leads to junior standing in the A.B. at Bryn Mawr College.
At Bryn Mawr College, students must earn a total of 32 “units” to complete the A.B. degree. Each Bryn Mawr College course is equivalent to one unit; thus 32 units is equivalent to 128 Community College of Philadelphia semester hours/credits. To receive transfer credit, courses must be completed with a grade of C or better although the associate degree must be completed with a minimum 3.6 cumulative GPA to be considered for admissions into Bryn Mawr College.
Students who earn an A.A. in English will receive 16 units (the equivalent of 4 semesters) and will enter Bryn Mawr College as juniors with four full-time fall and spring semesters remaining. A standard full-time Bryn Mawr College semester course load is four 1-unit courses. Students must complete the remaining 16 units in residence; given this, upon transfer, students pursuing the A.B. in English at Bryn Mawr College will take 8 units in the English major.
Additionally, Bryn Mawr College requires of all transfer students to take two Physical Education electives and satisfy Bryn Mawr College’s swim requirement.
