Thomas Jefferson University is affiliated with a number of colleges, universities and community colleges in an effort to increase access to higher education in nursing and the health professions. These partnerships, including general agreements (GA) (2+2 and other degree completion programs) and articulated curriculum agreements (ACA), provide students with a wide array of college choices as they complete their prerequisite coursework.

Jefferson's general partnership agreements present a novel approach to earning a bachelor's or higher degree. General agreements entitle students enrolled at our partner institutions admission to degree programs under the following conditions:

• All prerequisite coursework must be completed prior to enrollment at Jefferson
• A designated partner school representative must recommend the student for admission
• Students must have earned at least a 2.7 cumulative GPA
• Students must have earned at least a 'C' in all prerequisite coursework
• Students may not have a criminal or disciplinary record
• Admission is extended as long as there are spaces available in the entering class
• Where TOEFL is mandated, a minimum score of 87 is required and individual scores as follows:
  • Writing: 21
  • Speaking: 23
  • Reading: 21
  • Listening: 22

2+2, 3+1, 3+2 Pathways

Students spend two or three years at an affiliated institution before transferring to Jefferson to complete a nursing, occupational therapy, radiologic sciences, biotechnology, cytotechnology or medical laboratory sciences bachelor's and/or master's degree.
