Today, St. Francis College signed an articulation agreement with Manhattan College that will allow qualified SFC students to obtain a Bachelor of Science degree in chemical engineering as part of a 2+2 pathway program.

SFC is one of seven Catholic institutions in New York State that were recently awarded a five-year $3.5 million grant by the National Science Foundation’s Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP) program.

The newest members of the Duns Scotus Honor Society were inducted at the convocation ceremony held on the 140th Charter Day. Other academic awards and honors were bestowed as well.

For 40 years, SFC has been committed to graduating the highest-quality diverse nursing professionals through its fully CCNE-accredited program.

On April 28, St. Francis College celebrated the 139th anniversary of the granting of its charter with a convocation in the fifth-floor auditorium, marking the first time Charter Day was held at the College’s new Downtown Brooklyn campus.

Under the terms of the agreement, graduates of Bronx Community College with an associate degree in science in the biology option may transfer to St. Francis College and, after two years, graduate from SFC with a Bachelor of Science in biology. Those who qualify will be eligible for renewable scholarships (of $14,000 annually), merit-based aid and need-based aid from SFC.

The Curriculum Committee at St. Francis College recently approved major changes to the Communication Arts curriculum to help attract more students and better prepare them for careers in a constantly shifting media landscape. Faculty also voted to change the name of the department to Media and Communication.

Adding a bachelor’s degree program in public health seemed a natural extension of St. Francis College’s health science programming, and it is a great launching point into a wide range of different professions.

Financial operations positions are among the 10 largest occupations in the State of New York. St. Francis College is offering a B.S. in Finance so that students can take advantage of the many opportunities for skilled graduates.

The recent move by St. Francis College to a new campus featuring a MakerSpace equipped with 3D printers and other cutting-edge technology makes this the perfect time to introduce a B.S. in Entrepreneurship and Organizational Innovation.
