Penn Highlands & Juniata College Expand Partnership With Four New Articulation Agreements
Posted February 24, 2026 at 10:35 amPennsylvania Highlands Community College has announced the addition of four new articulation agreements with Juniata College, further strengthening the partnership between the two institutions.
Students can now transfer the Biology, English, and History concentrations of the Liberal Arts and Sciences A.A. degree to Juniata College in a program-to-program agreement, as well as the Pre-Health Professions: Nursing certificate in a 1+3 format.
“We are excited about the pathways our graduates have to continue their education at Juniata College,” said Michelle Stumpf, Dean of Enrollment & Registrar. “Our Pre-Healthcare Professions: Nursing certificate offers an affordable way for students to prepare for Juniata’s BSN program while completing key general education requirements.”
A 1+3 pathway allows students to complete their first year at Penn Highlands before transferring to Juniata College to complete the remaining three years and earn their bachelor’s degree.
Phi Theta Kappa members pursuing 1+3 Nursing at Juniata College are eligible for a renewable, annual PTK scholarship.
“Juniata and Penn Highlands Community College are uniquely positioned to train highly-educated professionals who are ready to serve our region and support the health of our communities,” said Jennifer DellAntonio, DEd, MSN, RN, CNE, Director of Nursing at Juniata College. “This continuing and growing partnership expands access to students pursuing careers in nursing.”
Program-to-Program agreements allow students who graduate with specified transfer or career degrees to transfer all of the credits earned within that program to the designated college or university.
Program-to-Program transfer students can also obtain the scholarship, as well as being eligible for direct admission.
Penn Highlands has established a total of eight articulation agreements with Juniata College. These agreements include previously implemented ones in Business Administration, Psychology, and Liberal Arts and Sciences, with focuses on Communications and Environmental Sciences.
