New partnership with West Chester University
In March, West Chester University and Delaware County Community College signed an on-site degree completion agreement that will enable associate degree graduates of the College to earn a West Chester University Bachelor of Science degree in Business Management with a minor in Business Law without ever having to leave the Marple Campus.

The agreement offers students convenience of location, ample free parking, and on-site admissions and academic advising from University representatives. West Chester University faculty will teach the courses, which are open to all University students, with preference given to Business Management majors who graduated with an associate degree in Business Administration from the College.

“This agreement paves the way for our graduates to have even
greater access to a baccalaureate degree from the College’s number one transfer institution,” said Dr. L. Joy Gates Black, president of Delaware County Community College. “It also enables students who find it difficult to get to West Chester the opportunity to complete their bachelor’s degree in a location close to home, the College’s Marple Campus.”

For more information about the new West Chester University Bachelor of Science in Business Management degree-completion program with Delaware County Community College, contact Catherine Oberholtzer at 610-436-3479 or visit www.wcupa.edu/dccc .
