William James College and Quincy College Reach Agreement

William James College, the largest psychology education institution in New England, has announced an “articulation agreement” that allows students from Quincy College, with campuses in Quincy and Plymouth Massachusetts, to pursue a bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Human Services at William James College. Quincy College is one of the first higher education institutions to formally send students into the William James College bachelor completion program.

“This agreement is a win-win for both institutions of higher learning,” said Marc Abelard, Director of the William James College Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Human Services Completion Program. “Not only will Quincy College students have the opportunity to make an easy transition to pursue a bachelor’s degree in the field of psychology, but William James College looks forward to welcoming these students who may decide to stay and pursue a graduate degree, which has been our primary offering for 43 years.”

This fall, William James College launched the Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Human Services Completion Program, the first undergraduate degree in the school’s history. Upon completing an associate's degree program at Quincy College, students can now pursue their bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Human Services at William James' Newton campus. Students from other area universities and colleges can transfer to William James College to pursue this degree pathway as well.

“Quincy College empowers students to pursue higher education at every level,” said Mary Burke, Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs for Quincy College. “As entry level education requirements increase for careers in psychology, Quincy College has sought to establish articulation agreements creating pathways for our students, expanding, enhancing and improving educational opportunities, and career outlook for graduates. We are excited to work with William James as it builds a new degree program.”

Quincy College has bachelor completion agreements with 23 other regional, national and international colleges and universities supporting a diverse offering of advanced degrees for a wide variety of majors and areas of study.
