GCU and OCC
Dual Admissions Agreement

Advancing from an associate’s to a bachelor’s degree program will now be much easier under a new Dual Admissions Agreement signed by Georgian Court University (GCU) and Ocean County College (OCC).

The agreement takes effect during the fall 2024 semester and offers OCC students the opportunity to apply for early admission, receive additional course counseling from GCU, and get support to ensure seamless entry into specific bachelor’s degree programs.

Why you should transfer to GCU from OCC

Streamlined Transfer Process

The partnership ensures that OCC graduates can transfer to GCU with junior status, facilitating a smooth transition to a bachelor’s degree.

Seamless Credit Transfer

OCC students in this program have all general education credits recognized by GCU, minimizing course duplication.

On-Site Support

GCU advisors are available at OCC to guide students through the transfer process, making it more accessible and personalized.

Cost-Saving Perks

The program offers waived application fees for OCC students enrolling in GCU, easing financial barriers.

Why GCU?

Georgian Court University is synonymous with possibility. Our education—which revolves around a broad liberal arts education, plenty of hands-on learning opportunities, and a tight-knit community—expands what’s possible in your life. All of this combined with more than $17 million in financial aid annually helps GCU to be recognized as a vehicle for social mobility.
