Camden County College, Wilmington Announce Partnership

GLOUCESTER TOWNSHIP, NJ — Camden County College students now have an avenue to pursue their bachelor’s degree at Wilmington University through a new partnership the colleges announced on Tuesday.

The partnership provides for guaranteed transfer and dual admissions for Camden County College students who intend to complete an associate degree and enroll in select online WilmU bachelor degree programs. They can enter the program at any time.

The Smart Transfer Enrollment Program (STEP Path) offers students one of the most affordable online paths to a bachelor’s degree in the region, the colleges said.

“Wilmington University is a leader in online learning, and we are proud to partner with them to offer students a seamless and fully online pathway from a CCC associate degree to multiple bachelor degree options,” Camden County College President Donald A. Borden said. “Wilmington University is recognized for its affordability, which combined with CCC’s low tuition costs, allows students to reach their academic goals without incurring the massive debt associated with higher education.”

Qualified Camden County College graduates will be eligible for a 25 percent discount toward their bachelor’s degree at Wilmington. Students receive personalized attention and support, and will be provided with privileges and access to facilities at both institutions.

“We look forward to offering Camden County College graduates the career-oriented degree programs that can help them succeed in today’s diverse and global workforce,” Wilmington University President Dr. LaVerne T. Harmon said. “We consider it a privilege to welcome them to our University family and aspire to build on the meaningful experiences they’ve already had at CCC.”
