TOMS RIVEROcean 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.
