TOMS RIVER – Ocean County College and Stockton University have signed a series of new articulation agreements that will provide students majoring in arts and humanities at OCC with a streamlined path to earning bachelor’s degrees at Stockton.
The agreements, announced June 18, apply to OCC students pursuing associate degrees in disciplines such as Music, History, Fine Arts, Graphic Arts, Design & Media, and Philosophy & Religion. Under the new 2+2 pathways, students can transfer directly into corresponding bachelor’s programs at Stockton starting in the Fall 2025 semester.
“These exciting new articulations will remove hurdles for Ocean County College students and enable them to move forward seamlessly,” said OCC President Pamela Monaco. “By working together, we are making higher education more accessible.”

Stockton Provost Dr. Michael Palladino said the agreements support students seeking degrees that emphasize creativity, critical thinking, and cultural understanding: “Through these 2+2 agreements, students can achieve their educational goals efficiently and affordably.”
The partnership reflects a continued commitment to student success and academic collaboration between the two New Jersey institutions.
