The courses encompassed in the A.S. degree from Bucks must be completed within the three years preceding matriculation at USciences. Students who take more than years to complete the A.S. degree can still transfer under this articulation agreement, subject to departmental review and approval. MT0-MT Orientation I ( cr) and MT02-MT Orientation II ( cr) will be waived for students transferring to USciences after earning the A.S. in Biomedical Sciences (05). However, the total credits required for graduation (includes transfer credits) will remain unchanged. A full-time student will generally complete the requirements for the B.S. degree after an additional two semesters at USciences and three semesters (Fall, Spring and Summer) at an affiliated intern site. Graduation from USciences with a BS degree requires completion of specified courses and a total of 20-6 credit hours, depending upon the degree program. In order to enter USciences with U (junior) status and to facilitate the completion of a BS degree in two years of study at USciences, all students are strongly advised to complete more than 60 total credits of course work which is eligible for transfer to USciences. Students interested in transferring to USciences are strongly urged to contact the USciences Admission Office early in their enrollment at Bucks for advising. Note: The number of qualified transfer students accepted into the B.S. Medical Laboratory Science program under this agreement will be determined based on seats availability. 2
