First Year Students

An all in one guide for First Year Students

What is the 3+1 program?

The 3+1 program is an opportunity presented to RCBC students where they can complete 3 years of their degree at RCBC and then transfer to Rowan university for their last year, finishing with a Bachelor's degree.


What will my diploma say?

Most students will earn two degrees and receive two separate diplomas for an associate degree from RCBC and a bachelor’s degree from Rowan University. If you have an associate degree from another school, you will just earn a bachelor’s degree from Rowan University.


Do I need to travel to the Glassboro campus?

The senior year for all 3+1 majors is completed on the Mt. Laurel campus and/or online. Students never have to travel to Glassboro to take classes during their senior year. A student can choose to change to the Glassboro campus for senior year, but they will not receive a discount on tuition and will need to leave the 3+1 program.


How much will my senior year cost?

You will pay Rowan University’s tuition and fees for the senior year. Students will have between 30-32 credits left to complete in the senior year. Classes are taken in Mount Laurel or online and students will pay a discounted tuition rate. More information can be found at:  https://sites.rowan.edu/bursar/tuitionfees/
