SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Syracuse University’s Martin J. Whitman School of Management says it has a new partnership with Onondaga Community College (OCC) for direct-transfer admissions for OCC students to the Whitman School.
This admissions partnership expands the August launch of similar agreements between select Syracuse University (SU) schools and colleges and OCC, SU said in its announcement.
The direct-transfer admission program agreement “guarantees” admission to the Whitman School for eligible OCC graduates. It also enables eligible OCC graduates to complete a bachelor’s degree within four academic semesters.

To leverage the direct-transfer admission program, OCC graduates must have earned a minimum GPA (grade-point average) of 3.4 in the business-administration program. SU will award all admitted students with a 3.4 or higher a merit-based scholarship of at least $10,000.
The Whitman School will begin admitting students for this program beginning in fall 2024, SU noted.
Whitman and OCC have jointly established student-advising standards and course-transfer requirements designed to support degree completion for eligible students within four academic semesters.
“The Whitman School is committed to welcoming students at all stages of their learning journey. This new partnership with OCC allows us to work collaboratively with a great local partner to enact a pathway to a business-related bachelor’s degree for residents of our Central New York community,” Alex McKelvie, interim dean of the Whitman School, said in an SU news release. “The initiative is also aligned with positioning students for exciting new careers stemming from our region’s partnership with Micron. We’re very pleased to finalize this exciting new partnership.”
