Bachelor of Science - Addiction Studies

Empire State College will offer A.A.S. degree graduates in Chemical Dependency Counseling OR A.S. degree graduates in Human Services from CCC an opportunity to participate in the Pathways Transfer Program into a Bachelor of Science degree.

How the Pathways Transfer Program Works:

During their first year at Empire State College, students in the Pathways Transfer Program may, with advisement, elect to cross-register for additional credits at CCC beyond the associate degree (up to a total of 79 lower-division credits).

Empire State College requires 124 credits for a bachelor’s degree, of which CCC graduates must complete a minimum of 31 credits at Empire State College.  79 lower-division credits can be transferred in through transcripted credit or prior learning assessment.

  • Guaranteed admission to a bachelor’s degree program (does not include Nursing program)

To be eligible, CCC transfer students must have completed an associate degree within the last 3 years, or be in (or entering) their final semester of completing an associate degree.
