KUTZTOWN AND LCCC

Kutztown University and Lehigh Carbon Community College recently signed an articulation agreement in the office of the president to create a dual admission core-to-core program between the two schools.

Kutztown University President Dr. Kenneth S. Hawkinson and LCCC President Dr. Ann Bieber presided over the signing.

Under the agreement, LCCC students who submit a Letter of Intent to enter Kutztown University will be assured admissions into a bachelor’s degree program with third year status at Kutztown University and will have their Kutztown University application fee waived provided the following conditions are satisfied:

· Students must graduate from LCCC with an associate in arts or associate in science degree with a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.0. Exceptions to the minimum requirements for admission to Kutztown University are the College of Education, where a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 in required; the Department of Psychology, where a minimum GPA of 2.5 is required; the Department of Criminal Justice; where a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.5 is required; the College of Visual and Performing Arts which requires a portfolio for the Fine Arts programs and the Department of Computer Science, requiring a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.25.

· Students must satisfy all other Kutztown University requirements including any admissions requirements for their selected major.

A full-time student admitted with third year status to Kutztown University should be able to complete a bachelor’s degree in a parallel program at Kutztown University within four regular semesters provided the student completes the appropriate associate degree program at LCCC and completes and appropriately sequences their remaining course work at Kutztown University.
