The School of Continuing and Professional Studies (SCPS) recently reached an agreement with Harrisburg Area Community College (HACC) allowing currently enrolled students to transfer Elizabethtown SCPS credits back towards an associate degree at HACC. SCPS Dean Dr. John Kokolus and HACC President John J. “Ski” Sygielski, Ed.D signed the reverse transfer agreement.

SCPS, a part of the Elizabethtown College community for over 40 years, and HACC, Pennsylvania’s first and largest community college, are pleased that their collaboration will allow students to obtain an associate degree while working towards their Etown bachelor’s degree.

“Completing an associate degree is a significant academic accomplishment and may help students advance their career goals more efficiently,” Kokolus said.

Degrees are awarded at the discretion of HACC based on current degree programs and policies. The Central Pennsylvania community college has about 20,000 currently enrolled students and offers more than 150 career and transfer associate degree, certificate and diploma programs across five campuses and through online classes. Its partnership with Etown will give dual enrollment students access to 53 majors and over 80 minors and concentrations. The institutions’ collaboration aims to expedite the graduation process of SCPS students.
