Purdue University Fort Wayne and Edison State Enter Transfer Agreement
FORT WAYNE, Ind—Purdue University Fort Wayne and Edison State Community
College in Piqua, Ohio, signed a transfer articulation agreement
allowing students from Edison State to transfer credits earned from an
Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree into a PFW Bachelor of
Applied Science (BAS) degree. The BAS degree can be completed entirely
online.
Once Edison State students meet PFW admission requirements, they can
smoothly transfer 88 credit hours of their AAS degree. Students are
required to complete 32 credit hours at PFW. A total of 120 credit
hours is required to complete the BAS degree. The BAS degree can be
completed totally online, making PFW more accessible to students
outside of their region.
Chris Spradlin, Edison State’s Provost, states, “Edison State is very
pleased to enter into this agreement with Purdue University Fort
Wayne. It will allow students who start with us to make a smooth
transition to Purdue’s Bachelor of Applied Science degree, a program
that carries with it the reputation for excellence that is synonymous
with Purdue University. This is a great illustration of the fact
that when you begin your educational journey with Edison State, the
opportunities for success are endless.”
Students have the option of five concentrations in business,
supervision and leadership, information technology, and information
systems tracks, which have specific requirements. The interdisciplinary
track is more flexible and is the most popular of the five options.
“Students do not need to relocate to receive a Purdue degree and an
excellent education from our Fort Wayne campus,” said La Tishia
Horrell, director of general studies at Purdue Fort Wayne. “We are
excited to work with Edison State Community College students and
welcome our newest Mastodons.”
PFW has a reciprocity agreement with some Ohio counties. Students who
reside in Allen, Auglaize, Butler, Darke, Defiance, Fulton, Henry,
Mercer, Paulding, Preble, Putnam, Shelby, Van Wert, and Williams
counties will pay the in-state tuition rate.
