The Henry M. Rowan College of Engineering on May 21 entered into an engineering agreement with Rowan College at Gloucester County that will provide an alternate path for students seeking a four-year engineering degree.

Under the pact, students may enroll in RCGC’s engineering program and then transfer into Rowan University’s engineering college (based on course completion with appropriate GPA).

The agreement will align courses so that students who successfully complete coursework at RCGC may transfer seamlessly to the Glassboro campus. Students may pursue any engineering major, but the focus is geared toward chemical and biomedical engineering.

Among those taking part in the ceremony were Rowan Engineering’s dean, Dr. Anthony Lowman (see photo: seated, second from left), and associate dean, Dr. Steven Chin (seated, left).

Lowman noted the agreement will help ensure that highly qualified students have greater access to an affordable bachelor’s degree in high-demand fields.

“We need engineers," he said. “We’re here to provide opportunities for more engineers.”

He noted he was highly confident in RCGC’s ability to educate students prepared to move into Rowan Engineering’s nationally recognized program.
