PATHWAY CONNECTION

Essex County College (ECC) partnered with Rutgers University to create an articulation agreement from the Associate of Applied Science in Health Information Technology degree program at ExCC to the Bachelor of Science in Health Information Management degree program at Rutgers University. However, it has been determined by both ECC and Rutgers that the articulation agreement will instead be focused on the Associate of Science (General) degree program at ECC to the Bachelor of Science of Health Information Management degree program at Rutgers University for better alignment of existing curricula and the ease and expediency of creating articulation now. Such articulation agreement is currently under development.

ECC is also creating a new Associate of Science in Data Science degree program to also articulate into the Bachelor of Science in Health Information Management degree program. Approval of the degree program is expected by Spring 2024.
