STEM Transfer Studies

Program Statement

This program provides students with an opportunity to explore the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) transfer programs available at the College. Completion of a STEM program can prepare students to transfer to a wide variety of bachelor's degree fields including: Biology, Biotechnology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Engineering Science, Information Systems, Mathematics and Physics.

Program Information

• This program is intended for students to explore STEM courses before committing to an academic program designed to transfer to a four-year institution.
• Students should take any required developmental courses in their first semester.
• Students have access to outstanding STEM laboratory facilities and learn from faculty involved in state-of-the-art research activities. Courses are constantly evolving to reflect current trends.
• Students should be in a Math course every semester until they have completed their sequence.
• Courses are offered both days and evenings, are delivered via traditional classroom or online, and taking summer courses can reduce fall and spring semester course loads.

After Bristol

• Students are encouraged to select a specific STEM Transfer program, including Computer Science and Information Systems Transfer, Engineering Transfer, Liberal Arts Math and Science Concentration or Life Sciences Biology Concentration, before completing more than 32 credits.

• Bristol participates in the statewide MassTransfer program and has developed many program-to-program transfer articulation agreements which guarantee admission and credit transfer. For a complete listing of eligible MassTransfer programs, current Bristol articulation agreements, and to complete an A2B Program Search, visit the Transfer Services website to review which credits will be transferred and applied to your degree.
