POTSDAM — Two new agreements finalized recently will allow health education and liberal arts, math and science students to easily transfer from SUNY Adirondack to SUNY Potsdam, where they can complete bachelor's degrees in community health and exercise science fields, a press release from SUNY Potsdam said.

Adirondack graduates holding associate degrees will enter Potsdam as juniors and be able to finish Bachelor of Science degrees with an additional two years of full-time enrollment.

With application fees waived, associate degree holders with a grade point average of 2.0 or higher are guaranteed transfer to Potsdam. Scholarships are available for students with a GPA of 3.0 and higher. Students who have earned an associate degree in the liberal arts, math and science with a health education concentration at Adirondack will be on track to enter the undergraduate program for a Bachelor of Science in Community Health from SUNY Potsdam. The degree readies graduates to become leaders in the increasingly vital public health field-preparing them for careers in substance abuse prevention, nutrition education, sex education, disease and injury prevention, therapeutic recreation and environmental health advocacy.

SUNY Adirondack students of liberal arts, math and science can transfer to the SUNY Potsdam exercise science sports performance track, focusing on the scientific and applied study of the human body with regard to performance and prevention of injury. SUNY Potsdam's exercise science program is part of the National Strength and Conditioning Association's Education Recognition program, preparing students to work in fitness and sports training.

Those interested in learning more about these and other academic programs offered at SUNY Adirondack and SUNY Potsdam can contact Adirondack's admissions office at (518) 743-2200, or Potsdam's office of admissions at (315) 267-2180.
