BINGHAMTON, N.Y. — Students at SUNY Broome Community College who want to pursue a bachelor’s degree at Binghamton University’s School of Management (SOM) will have a chance to do so.

The two schools have signed an agreement targeting the interested SUNY Broome students.

Under the pact, 25 qualified SUNY Broome students will be guaranteed acceptance into a bachelor’s degree program at SOM each year, beginning this fall.

Binghamton University President Harvey Stenger on April 21 joined SUNY Broome Community College President Kevin Drumm to announce the agreement.

“I’m excited to announce another articulation agreement with our brother school at SUNY Broome,” Stenger said. “The School of Management offers competitive bachelor’s degree programs, and I’m happy to extend this opportunity to SUNY Broome students, as this will impact many students from the local area.”

To better serve transfer students intending to pursue programs of study with SOM, SUNY Broome students seeking an associate degree in business administration can enroll in SOM through the Binghamton University’s 2+U guaranteed transfer admissions program.

“This partnership will bring to SOM a stable of qualified and exceptional students from SUNY Broome,” Upinder Dhillon, dean of the School of Management, said in a release. “I look forward to their arrival and the unique perspective that these students will bring into the program.”

All students who participate in the Binghamton University 2+U program are expected to complete all coursework at SUNY Broome until meeting the academic requirements to successfully transfer into Binghamton University, per the release.
