Reading, PA – On Monday, April 4, Reading Area Community College President Dr. Susan Looney and Kutztown University of Pennsylvania President Dr. Kenneth Hawkinson signed an agreement, which will provide a seamless transfer for RACC students to enter the KU Bachelor of Science in Physics: Engineering Technology. 

Under the Dual Admissions Agreement, Reading Area Community College students will be guaranteed admission into a B.S. Physics: Engineering Technology degree program with third year (junior) status at Kutztown University of PA on the condition that they meet specific criteria.

“We are celebrating today a new agreement in engineering with Kutztown University, one of the top transfer destinations for our graduates. This agreement is the result of great cooperation and collaboration between faculty and deans of our respective institutions and will serve well the needs of our institutions and, more importantly, those of our students,” says Reading Area Community College President Dr. Susan Looney.

A full-time student admitted with third year status to Kutztown University will be able to complete a Bachelor of Science in Physics: Engineering Technology at Kutztown University within four regular semesters provided that the student completes the appropriate Associate Degree program at Reading Area Community College and completes and appropriately sequences their remaining course work at Kutztown University while maintaining full-time status.
