MCCC, Kutztown University Sign 'Reverse Transfer' Agreement

Montgomery County Community College and Kutztown University this month signed a “reverse transfer” agreement, the first of its kind between a community college and a Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education.

The agreement allows students to transfer credits earned at Kutztown back to MCCC in order to work towards an associate’s degree in a parallel field while earning a bachelor’s degree.

In an announcement on the college’s website, MCCC President Dr. Karen A. Stout said the agreement aims to build on MCCC’s strategic efforts to increase student access, progression and completion rates, and on work being done nationally to support community college degree completion.

Kutztown University officials said they are excited to partner with the local community college.

“Kutztown University is excited to once again partner with Montgomery County Community College in developing another program to benefit students of our region,” said Dr. Carlos Vargas-Aburto, KU’s acting president. “Serving students is at the core of all that we do, and this is truly a student-centric program.”
