Purdue University Fort Wayne and Edison State Community College in Ohio have signed a transfer agreement. The agreement allows students from Edison State to transfer credits earned from an Associate of Applied Science degree into a PFW Bachelor of Applied Science degree. 

Edison State students will be able to transfer 88 credit hours of their associate degree, and will be required to finish 32 credit hours at PFW. Students will have opportunities in five concentrations, including business, supervision and leadership, information technology and information systems tracks.

Edison State Provost Chris Spradlin says the agreement is welcomed news. 

“It will allow students who start with us to make a smooth transition to Purdue’s Bachelor of Applied Science degree, a program that carries with it the reputation for excellence that is synonymous with Purdue University. This is a great illustration of the fact that when you begin your educational journey with Edison State, the opportunities for success are endless.” 

 PFW also has a reciprocity agreement with several Ohio counties to allow for students to pay the in-state tuition rate.
