Pennsylvania Highlands Community College (Penn Highlands) and Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU) recently expanded their articulation agreement to now include eight transfer pathway options.

“Our responsibility as a community college is to identify and secure quality transfer agreements for our students, which will allow them to earn a bachelor’s degree more easily once they transfer from Penn Highlands,” stated Dr. Steve Nunez, President of Penn Highlands Community College. “Transfer agreements like this one with SNHU do just that. They help provide more options for students in our region.”
