Agreements & Articulations

Felician University maintains formal agreements with colleges, universities, high schools, healthcare systems, and employers that create clear, published pathways into and out of our degree programs. Each agreement below identifies the partner, the type of agreement, and what it means for students — including any tuition benefit and how coursework is applied toward Felician degree requirements.

All transfer credit is awarded in accordance with the University’s Transfer Credit Policy. Credit earned under an articulation agreement is evaluated against the learning outcomes of the corresponding Felician course and applied toward major, general education, or elective requirements as appropriate. Students should consult the Office of the Registrar at registrar@felician.edu or 201.559.6043 with questions about how specific coursework will apply to their degree. Agreements are reviewed annually. Tuition rates and discounts listed are subject to annual adjustment.
