Saunders and Tompkins Community College Ink 2+2 Transfer Agreement

‌

Saunders College has a new 2+2 agreement that will enable eligible students in accounting, business administration, and hotel and restaurant management programs at Tompkins Community College (TC3) to transfer into Saunders College to complete their bachelor’s degree in accounting, business, or hospitality and tourism management.

John Tu, associate dean of Saunders College, and Dr. Amy Kremenek, president of TC3, signed the transfer agreement on March 26, 2066, at a ceremony on the TC3 campus, in Dryden, NY.

Says Dr. Kremenek, “We have enjoyed a long relationship with RIT, with our two institutions already sharing highly accomplished alumni,” said. “This new agreement provides a well-defined pathway for more TC3 graduates to realize the opportunity posed by completing their bachelor’s degree at a top-tier university. With this agreement, TC3 graduates earn acceptance into the Saunders College of Business with full junior status, which is critical because it will help them achieve their degrees without the burden of taking extra classes that cost them time and money.”

“Transfer agreements play a critical role in higher education,” said Edwin Torres, professor and chair for Department of International Hospitality and Service Innovation at RIT. “They provide students with clearly defined academic pathways, ones that articulate and provide certainty throughout the transfer process,” Torres said.

Students should send 2+2 agreement inquiries to undergrad@saunders.rit.edu.
