3 + 1 Bachelor’s Degree Programs
Atlantic Cape has partnered with 4-year universities to help you save money by completing your junior year toward your bachelor’s degree at Atlantic Cape’s tuition rate. Our current partners include the following:
Rutgers University
Stockton University
Thomas Edison State University
University of Phoenix
Our 3+1 program allows you to take advantage of Atlantic Cape's affordable tuition and fees through your junior year of college, leaving only one year of full-priced tuition for you to pay after transferring to an Atlantic Cape partnered institution. Here's how 3+1 works:
- First, you'll earn your associate degree in your selected major at Atlantic Cape
- Then, instead of transferring to your new school right away, you'll take your junior year at Atlantic Cape at a reduced tuition rate
- When your junior year is complete, you will then transfer to complete your bachelor's degree at your chosen university at the university's tuition prices.
To learn more about the schools in our 3+1 program and to explore their history, scholarship opportunities, and available programs, please visit atlanticcape.edu/student-resources/transfer-planning/index.php.

Rutgers University
Dual Degree Program
Rutgers will offer admission to the Dual Degree Program (DDP) to a select group of first-year New Jersey high school students. These are students for whom space is unavailable at the university because of the growing number of high school graduates applying to Rutgers and their increasingly competitive records.
Those first-year students offered admission through the DDP will begin their studies by enrolling at a New Jersey community college. Upon completion of an associate of arts or an associate of science degree at a community college, DDP participants will be admitted to at least one college of Rutgers University provided a cumulative grade-point-average of 3.0 has been achieved in a Recommended Transfer Program.
To be among the select group of students considered for this program, New Jersey high school students should complete a Rutgers application by the priority application date specified at the Rutgers University Undergraduate Admissions website: https://admissions.rutgers.edu/apply/dates-deadlines. No separate DDP application is required.
