Pennsylvania Transfer Articulation Center

ESU participates in the Pennsylvania Transfer and Articulation Center (PA TRAC) which was established to comply with Article XX-C of the Public Institution Code of 1949. PA TRAC allows for a seamless statewide transfer and articulation system between Pennsylvania’s 10 community colleges, four state-related universities, and the 14 universities in the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education. 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 with Community Colleges.  View existing agreements at esu.edu/transfer.    
• Statewide Program-to-Program Articulation allows students who graduate with specified associate degrees to transfer as juniors into bachelor degree programs in similar fields at a participating four-year institution. At ESU, the following degree programs are part of the Statewide Program-to-Program agreements:
  • Biology
