Pennsylvania Transfer Articulation Center

The Pennsylvania Transfer and Articulation Center (PA TRAC) was established to comply with Article XX-C of the Public Institution Code of 1949. As a public university, ESU participates in PA TRAC which allows for a seamless statewide transfer and articulation system between Pennsylvania’s 14 community colleges, four state-related universities, and the 14 universities in the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education (PASSHE). Transfer of courses and academic program articulation occurs in the following three ways:

• 30-Credit Transfer Framework is a complement of a minimum of 30 credits of foundation courses that can be easily transferred to any of the participating institutions. The Framework includes courses in English, Public Speaking, Mathematics, Natural Science, Humanities and the Behavioral and Social Sciences.
• Articulation Agreements from Community Colleges.  Please view our ESU website in order to see all agreements that are created.    
• Statewide Program-to-Program Articulation became effective for the fall 2012 semester and allows students who graduate with specified associate degrees to transfer as juniors into bachelor degree programs in similar fields of students at a participating four-year institution. At ESU, the following degree programs are part of the Statewide Program-to-Program agreements:
         
  • Biology
