MAYS LANDING—Atlantic Cape Community College and Rutgers University – Camden signed a conditional admission agreement March 27 that will enable students from Atlantic or Cape May counties to earn their associate degrees at Atlantic Cape and then seamlessly transition to Rutgers – Camden to complete their undergraduate education.
Under the program, a student from either of the two counties who is denied admission to Rutgers University – Camden directly out of high school would be offered conditional admission as a transfer student to Rutgers – Camden from Atlantic Cape.

A separate agreement is in effect for the Nursing degree program.
“Many students who graduate from Atlantic Cape Community College choose Rutgers University – Camden in order to earn a world-class bachelor’s degree. Working together, our two institutions are helping South Jersey residents achieve their career and personal goals in a more convenient and expedient manner,” says Phoebe Haddon, chancellor of the Rutgers – Camden campus.
Admission to the Rutgers – Camden College of Arts and Sciences, University College and School of Business is contingent upon successful completion of the A.A. or A.S. degree at Atlantic Cape with a 3.00 grade point average. Students who wish to enroll in the Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration through Rutgers at Atlantic Cape may be accepted after completing an A.A. or A.S. degree with at least a 2.50 GPA.
“Atlantic Cape is excited about the opportunity to expand our relationship with Rutgers – Camden and provide local residents another cost-effective pathway to a baccalaureate degree,” said Barbara Gaba, Atlantic Cape president. “This agreement makes our community stronger and will lead to more highly skilled graduates to support our local workforce.”
