The dual admissions agreement allows students that are enrolled at Penn Highlands who plan to complete a bachelor’s degree at IUP to be given automatic acceptance pending successful completion of all admissions requirements. On top of that, IUP president Dr. Michael Driscoll said that another advantage will be that PHCC students will have access to a lot of IUP’s amenities.
PHCC President Dr. Steve Nunez said the agreement will give PHCC students a chance to remain local.
Since 2015, over 100 Pennsylvania Highlands students have transferred to IUP to complete their studies.
