Freshmen Transition Program (FTP)
Freshman Transition Program (FTP)
Program Coordinator (CCBC): Macey Cozzolino: acozzolino@ccbcmd.edu
This program is a partnership between Towson University and the Community College of Baltimore County (CCBC). Students in Towson University’s Freshman Transition Program take Community College of Baltimore County courses taught by CCBC faculty on TU’s main campus in the late afternoons and evenings. They live in TU’s residence halls and receive the same support services as TU students. After successful completion of the FTP program, students have a seamless transition into Towson University and transfer their CCBC credits to TU. Students do not have to reapply to TU.
Academic Requirements
Students may participate in this program for a maximum of two consecutive terms. Academic progress while in the program is governed by CCBC academic standards. View the CCBC College Catalog for a full description of academic standards.
