Hudson Valley Community College and SUNY Plattsburgh announced a new dual admissions agreement on Friday.

Officials say the new agreement is designed to strengthen transfer pathways and support student success across both SUNY institutions.

Under the new agreement, students can apply to both institutions at once and gain a clear, guided path to earning their bachelor’s degree at SUNY Plattsburgh.

“There is a place at SUNY for every New Yorker, and we are committed to the success of every student,” SUNY Chancellor John King said in a statement. "The new partnership between Hudson Valley Community College and SUNY Plattsburgh will strengthen the transfer process and make an excellent, affordable SUNY education available to more students in the Hudson Valley.”

The partnership offers over 50 program-to-program pathways across the schools of health sciences, business and liberal arts and STEM.
