    30-Credit Transfer Framework

    The 30-Credit Transfer Framework is a menu of foundation courses that transfer seamlessly among participating PA TRAC colleges and count toward nearly any degree program. The Framework represents the type of coursework generally completed during the first and second year of any four-year degree program. Framework courses are good choices for students who are undecided about a major or transfer institution.

  • Statewide Program-to-Program (P2P) Articulation

    Statewide Program-to-Program (P2P) Articulation

    Statewide P2P Articulation allows students with specific associate degrees to transfer to a participating four-year college with junior standing, receive at least 60 credits toward a matching bachelor’s degree, and enter advanced coursework in the major. This type of articulation serves as pathways into undergraduate majors and helps minimize loss of credit when transferring from one institution to another.
