     your Advantage:Transfer Opportunities

    Dual Admission

    The College offers an array of transfer agreements with four-year schools.

    One of these agreements is Dual Admission, which eases the admission

    process to the partner college or university and can also guarantee

    admission to a particular bachelor’s degree (if specified). This agreement

    prepares students who complete a specific associate degree to transfer

    their credits into a parallel bachelor’s degree program at the partner

    college or university. Most Dual Admission agreements offer merit-based

    scholarships and an application fee waiver, so students participating

    in these agreements save money as well. Students must complete an

    Associate in Arts (A.A.), Associate in Fine Arts (A.F.A.), Associate in

    Science (A.S.), or Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S.) degree pursuant

    to the articulation specifications.

     Meet with your advisors to check in at least once a semester. Do not be afraid to ask questions

    about how credits transfer. Also if you have the ability, stay at Delaware County Community

    College and earn your associate degree. It looks great on a transcript as well as a resume.

    ELIZABETH BETANCOURT ’15 

     Administration of Justice Major, Transferred to West Chester University

    Elizabeth Betancourt, 34, of Clifton Heights,

    enrolled at Delaware County Community College

    as a nontraditional age student, and the College

    helped her transition back into an academic setting.

    While a student, she was recognized by the Phi Theta

    Kappa honor society of two-year colleges and the

    Pennsylvania Commission for Community Colleges for

    academic achievement and community volunteerism.

    She earned a 3.92 GPA, majored in Administration

    of Justice and graduated with an Associate in

    Applied Science degree from the College in May.

    She transferred to West Chester University in

    September to study Criminal Justice. Her long-term

    goal is to earn a master’s degree and become a

    juvenile probation officer.

    While at the College, Betancourt served as vice

    president of scholarship for the Alpha Tau Epsilon

    chapter of Phi Theta Kappa, which involved teaching

    and guiding fellow students through the often

    challenging task of applying for scholarships and

    attaining their academic goals.

    Delaware County Community College is committed to student

    to help you meet your educational goals, including:

     After finding out about my

    Veteran Services

    Another one of the many support services the College provides

    is assistance for veterans. This includes preferential registration,

     which allows veteran students to register for courses on the two

    business days before formal registration opens for fall and spring

    courses. This preferential scheduling is in compliance with Act 46

    of 2014, which requires public institutions of higher education in

    Pennsylvania to provide veteran students, as defined in the Act,

     with preference in course scheduling. Course scheduling preference

    means that veteran students are able to start registering for courses

    sooner than students with the same class standing.

    Veterans also have access to the new Veteran Center, which is

    located on the Marple Campus. The Center provides computers

    as well as space for studying and socializing.

     your Advantage: Internships

    Through a co-op or internship, Delaware County Community

    College students have the opportunity to combine classroom theory

     with practical, real-world employment experience in order to gain

    exposure and prepare for their chosen career path. A co-op, which is

    short for cooperative education, is a full-time learning experience in

     which the student is employed by a company on a full-time basis for

    a period of time. An internship is a part-time, paid or unpaid, learning

    experience in which the student is supervised and guided in several

    facets of the work environment.

    There are a variety of companies and organizations looking for

    interns, and the Student Employment and Co-Op Services Center

    helps to place students in an internship. Students will earn college

    credits each semester in which they complete an internship and pay

    for these credits as they would a class. Internships range from one to

    three credits. Many students complete two internship experiences

     while at the College, earning as many as six credits. The number of

    credits earned is determined by the number of hours worked.

    Completing a co-op or internship will allow you to:

    • Gain professional experience

    • Decide if a certain career field is the right fit

    • Obtain firsthand information about your career options

    • Apply what you have learned in the classroom to real work experiences

    • Make employment contacts

    • Earn college credit

    • Earn a paycheck (for some positions)
