Clarkson Eugene E. Kaczka Dean The School of Management MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING (Undergraduate Program) The enclosed document, “The 2 + 2 Undergraduate Program at Clarkson,” outlines in broad terms a plan which provides students of Orange County Community College an opportunity to obtain the BS degree in management at Clarkson College. This document is subject to change. An abridged version (enclosed) may be suitable for publication in the college catalog. The complete document may be circulated to all academic advisors and to all students inquiring about the program. Clarkson will attempt to notify students of their admission as early as possible. The key factor affecting our decision is the demonstrated quality of the student’s academic work relative to the minimum admission standard. Similarly, a decision concerning financial aid will be given as soon as possible. A review of this agreement will be done on an annual basis. This communication, combined with the enclosed document, “2 + 2 Undergraduate Program at Clarkson,” constitute the details of an agreement between Orange County Community College and the School of Management at Clarkson College. Approved Approved Official of Official of Clarkson College Orange County Community College School of Management School of Business Date: August 30, 1983 Date: October 19, 1983 SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT CLARKSON COLLEGE DETAILS OF THE MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING (Undergraduate Program) The 2 + 2 Plan Clarkson has established an articulation agreement with Orange County Community College, to allow students to plan their undergraduate programs so that they include courses which may be transferred to the School of Management. These courses include material normally known as the Common Body of Knowledge (CBK) by the AACSB. The School of Management of Clarkson College has reviewed these courses and consulted with the faculty of Orange County Community College about their content in agreeing to accept these courses as CBK equivalent. Thus, the student is relieved of the usual uncertainty which exists in attempting to transfer credit to a four-year program. A single faculty member or administration officer at Orange County Community College should serve as liaison with the Director of Undergraduate Programs, School of Management, Clarkson College. The person should be responsible for advising or coordinating the advising of prospective candidates as well as being the principal communication link between the Clarkson College School of Management and Orange County Community College. By this communication, the School of Management at Clarkson is initially establishing standards for transfer admissions. ADMISSIONS POLICIES The following policies prevail when transcripts are evaluated for transfer credit: 1. Credit is given for all courses in which a grade of C or better has been attained—unless a course is not considered to be equivalent to the college level work taught in Clarkson’s professional school. Generally, this means that most course credits are accepted (for the list of acceptable courses, please read paragraph entitled, “The 2+2 Plan.”) except for a few subjects such as business math, typewriting, and certain vocational-type courses. Very few courses of this kind appear on transcripts of students applying for transfer, however. 2. Credit is allowed toward fulfilling the requirement of 48 hours in arts and sciences for all courses in literature, economics, history, sociology, psychology, political science, communication, mathematics, or science. The only limitation on courses in this group is that 30 hours be distributed in the following manner: 6 hours of calculus, 6 hours of science, 6 hours of humanities (art, literature, language, etc.), 9 hours in the social sciences (economics, history, sociology, psychology, political science) and 3 hours in either humanities or social sciences. 3. Credit is also allowed for courses which will fulfill a portion of the 48 credit hour requirement in business administration. Courses such as accounting principles, principles of economics, statistics, computer science, or business law may be used to satisfy the School of Management requirements. In addition, credit may be awarded for courses in intermediate accounting, principles of marketing, principles of management, corporation finance and operations management provided the student passes a sequential upper level division course in the same subject at Clarkson. The curriculum consists of : a. If not taken previously, Computer Science I, Accounting I and II, Law I, and Statistics I. (15 hours) b. Principles of Marketing, Principles of Management, Corporation Finance, and Operations/Production Management, or if previously completed, an advanced course in each of these areas. (12 hours) c. All transfer students are required to take Organizational Policy. (3 hours) d. A 15 hour concentration in some areas of accounting, finance, economics, management, marketing, small business, or public administration. These courses must be taken at Clarkson. e. An elective course. (3 hours) 4. In addition, all students are required to complete 21 hours of free electives, one course in the School of Engineering from a designated list, and to pass the writing proficiency examination. SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT CLARKSON COLLEGE MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING ABRIDGED VERSION OF DETAILS The 2 + 2 Plan Clarkson has established an articulation agreement with Orange County Community College, to allow students to plan their undergraduate programs so that they include courses which may be transferred to the School of Management. The articulation agreement insures (within limits of available space) admission to the Clarkson four-year programs to students of cooperating institutions who meet the prescribed admission standards. The 2 + 2 Plan offers the student of Orange County Community College an opportunity to plan his or her academic program carefully and take advantage of the total educational experience afforded by full-time study for the BS degree with a minimum of additional expense and time.

The undergraduate degree at Clarkson consists of 120 semester hours of study at the undergraduate level. 2. The undergraduate curriculum at Clarkson achieves the following objectives: a. Allows maximum transfer credit from two-year institutions so that most students can complete the four-year degree in two additional years. b. Offers a flexible, multiple-major curriculum that gives students the opportunity to prepare for a career in an area of their strongest interest. 3. After two years at a community college or ATC, the typical transfer student has earned enough credits to transfer approximately 60 semester credit hours. This leaves about 60 hours to complete, with 30 to 48 of them in management, a few hours in arts and sciences and the balance as electives. A maximum of 66 hours of transfer credit can be accepted. Thus, all students must complete the School of Management requirements with at least 54 credit hours in the School of Management in residence at Clarkson. Clarkson Eugene E.
