Articulation Agreement between Adirondack Community College and SUNY New Paltz

Transcription

1 Articulation Agreement between Adirondack Community College and SUNY New Paltz The purposes of this agreement are as follows: 1. To attract qualified transfer students to Adirondack Community College and SUNY New Paltz. 2. To provide the effective transition of transfer students, holding the Associate in Arts (A.A.) or Associate in Science (A.S.) degree from Adirondack Community College to SUNY New Paltz. 3. To foster continuous communication between the respective departments to facilitate curriculum changes when appropriate and to provide accurate and timely advisement for interested students. Terms of the agreement: SUNY New Paltz agrees to accept all students who have earned the Associate in Arts (A.A.) or Associate in Science (A.S.) degree in Liberal Arts and Sciences: Humanities, Mathematics, Science or Social Sciences from Adirondack Community College with full junior standing when transferring to a parallel program at New Paltz in accordance with the following: SUNY New Paltz agrees to: 1. Accept up to 70 academic credits toward the baccalaureate degree upon award of the degree from Adirondack Community College. A.A. and A.S. degree holders from Adirondack, when transferring directly after receiving the degree, are considered to have met SUNY New Paltz s native general education requirement, but not necessarily the SUNY Mandated General Education requirement. An individual transfer credit evaluation will be provided to determine credits completed and credits still needed to meet the SUNY mandated general education requirement. 2. A.A.S. degree holders generally have a larger number of non-liberal arts courses in their Adirondack program than A.A. or A.S. students. However, each applicant also receives an individual transfer credit evaluation with an assessment of credits completed and credits still needed to meet both general education requirements. 3. Grant credit toward all concentrations in the following majors: Art History, Art Studio, Anthropology, Biology, Chemistry, Communication and Media, Communication Disorders, Economics, Education (Early Childhood, Childhood and Adolescent), Foreign Languages (French, German and Spanish), History, Mathematics, Political Science, and Psychology as determined in the attached course equivalency guide. In accordance with general college policy, one-half of the major must be completed at New Paltz. 4. Provide the opportunity to earn the baccalaureate degree in a parallel program in not more than four additional semesters of successful, planned full-time study, or part-time equivalent. 5. Guarantee the Adirondack Community College students accepted in transfer under the terms of this agreement will also be subject to any special requirements applicable to students who originally enrolled as freshman to SUNY New Paltz.

6 CHEMISTRY The Chemistry Department at New Paltz offers many advantages to the student interested in majoring in this field. It provides a strong background in general, organic, physical, and analytical chemistry, and offers a variety of courses not generally available at four-year colleges. New Paltz upper-division undergraduates are able to enroll in advanced courses in biochemistry, materials science, and instrumentation. High quality modern equipment is used for instruction and research in student laboratories. The small size of upper-division courses encourages close interaction between faculty and students. In addition, the chemistry faculty sponsors student research. Two undergraduate programs leading to liberal arts degrees are available: the American Chemical Society (ACS) approved major and a general chemistry major. There are also concentrations in biochemistry and biotechnology. In addition, students in the adolescence (7-12) teacher certification program may select a chemistry major as part of the education curriculum. See the New Paltz catalog for details.

This unique program is linked to the graduate program in Speech-Language Pathology. Please see the New Paltz catalog or the department web page for details. All students must enter the liberal arts major (588) initially, usually in the fall semester of the junior year. The minimum GPA for declaration of the major is 2.8.
