Delgado graduates who earn their associate degree in business, criminal justice, humanities, social sciences, physical sciences or biological sciences may now transfer up to 60 credit hours toward a degree through Tulane’s School of Professional Advancement in applied computing, exercise science, general legal studies, digital design, public relations, health and wellness, homeland security studies, humanities or social sciences.  Students who complete Delgado degrees in fields other than those specified in the agreement will have their coursework individually evaluated for transferability, a news release said.

“The agreement paves the way for Delgado graduates to earn four-year degrees in nine high-demand fields, including digital design and applied computing,” said Suri Duitch, dean of Tulane’s School of Professional Advancement.

The announcement comes a week after Delgado built on its transfer agreement with the University of New Orleans, which includes new financial aid opportunities and “quick admit” days on Delgado campuses.
