Onondaga Community College Reaches Transfer Agreement with 2 Historically Black Colleges & Universities

Onondaga Community College is starting off black history month with a special announcement.

The school has signed transfer agreements with two Historically Black Colleges and Universities – Johnson C Smith University in North Carolina and Lincoln University in Pennsylvania.

For Johnson C Smith University, students who complete their associates degrees with a 2.0 or above GPA will be able to enter most of the school’s programs with full junior standing. Students who enroll in a full-time course load will receive at least $8,000 in aid.

Students who meet the same GPA requirements as above will be eligible to transfer into Lincoln University’s School of Social Sciences and Behavioral Studies, School of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, and the School of Humanities.

“I am a big believer in both the power of education to transform lives and partnerships. There is no limit to what we can accomplish when we work together. These transfer agreements with Johnson C. Smith University and Lincoln University will give our students valuable educational options which will change their lives and the lives of their families,” said OCC President Dr. Warren Hilton.
