The institutions agreed that graduates of the Monmouth County school's hospitality management program who have completed an associate degree with a grade point average of 3.0 or higher will automatically be accepted into the area of study's baccalaureate program at UD.

The new opportunity offers graduates a pathway to bachelor's degrees in information technology, nursing, criminal justice, business and management programs.

This Pioneer Pathways Joint Admissions Agreement gives students of the Monmouth County community college the opportunity to take courses at the university's campus or online, the schools said. Scholarships are available and students admitted through the program will have application fees waived.
