Articulation Agreement for transition from SUNY Cobleskill Early Childhood Studies A.A.S. to SUNY Oneonta Childhood Education (Grades 1-6), Liberal Arts Concentration, B.S.
This agreement is intended to facilitate the transition of graduates from an associate degree program at SUNY Cobleskill to a baccalaureate degree program at SUNY Oneonta. Oneonta and Cobleskill recognize their responsibility to students from their regions, as well as from the rest of New York State, to ensure a smooth transition between the two institutions. Both institutions have made a strong commitment to help transfer students maximize their opportunities.
Guidelines
- Cobleskill students who have graduated or will graduate with an Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S.) in Early Childhood Studies and apply by the Oneonta published deadline and meet the admission criteria published in the current Oneonta college catalog, will be admitted to the Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree program in Childhood Education/Liberal Arts as matriculated students with junior status at Oneonta.
- The SUNY Transfer Course Equivalencies section of this page shows Cobleskill A.A.S. in Early Childhood Studies degree requirements and Oneonta equivalent courses by major for the first two years. Oneonta will accept a maximum of 75 semester hours from Cobleskill toward fulfilling the B.S. Childhood Education/Liberal Arts concentration degree requirements. Learn more about Oneonta’s Transfer Credit Policy.

To be assured admittance to the B.S. Childhood Education/Liberal Arts Concentration program at Oneonta under the terms of this agreement, all students must:
- Be in good academic and student standing with Cobleskill.
- Have a minimum Cobleskill cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 3.0.
- Have completed and been awarded the A.A.S. Early Childhood Studies degree.
- Have followed the prescribed process in applying to Oneonta and furnished a final transcript with the degree posted.

- Be provided a transfer credit evaluation and access to Degree Works, showing coursework to be completed.
