Transfer Pathways

Brookdale has partnerships with Rutgers University, Georgian Court University, Monmouth University, and Kean University that allow you to complete your bachelor’s degree right here in Monmouth County and on our campus. We also have over 40 transfer agreements with elite four-year colleges and universities from Paris to NJ and beyond that guarantee students with an associate degree will be able to transfer in as juniors. Some of these agreements offer 3+1 pathways that allow your junior year to be taken at Brookdale’s lower tuition rates.
