Wentworth and Bunker Hill Community College Sign Computer Science Transfer Agreement

Students who earn an associate degree in Computer Science at Bunker Hill Community College (BHCC) now have a direct path to a bachelor’s degree, and possibly a master’s, at Wentworth Institute of Technology. 

The two schools have signed an articulation agreement that guarantees BHCC graduates admission to Wentworth’s School of Computing and Data Science. To qualify, students must complete BHCC’s Associate in Science or Associate in Arts in Computer Science with a GPA of 2.5 or higher. They can then transfer into Wentworth’s bachelor’s programs in Computer Science, Data Science, or Applied Artificial Intelligence. 

Students admitted through the agreement receive a scholarship covering at least 50 percent of tuition. It renews for up to eight total semesters of full-time study. Wentworth will also waive the application fee and essay requirement, and no letters of recommendation are needed. Transfer students in the program are also eligible for Wentworth’s Phi Theta Kappa Transfer Scholarship and Founder Transfer Award Scholarship. 

College-level courses completed at BHCC with a grade of C or better will transfer to Wentworth. The agreement includes course-by-course maps showing how each BHCC degree lines up with each Wentworth program, so students can plan ahead. 

Once at Wentworth, students who keep a GPA of 3.25 or higher are eligible for automatic admission into the university’s accelerated BS/MS programs. Computer Science majors can go on to a Master’s in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, or Data Science. Data Science and Applied Artificial Intelligence majors can pursue a Master’s in Computer Science or Data Science. 

BHCC graduates who finish their Wentworth bachelor’s degree with a GPA of 3.0 or higher are also eligible for general admission to Wentworth’s graduate programs, with the application fee waived. 

BHCC students who want to learn more can contact BHCC’s Advising and LifeMap/Transfer Services office or Wentworth’s Office of Admissions.
