Ithaca College has established its first dual admission partnership with Tompkins Cortland Community College (TC3), creating a seamless pathway for TC3 students to continue their education and earn an IC bachelor's degree.
Through our dual admission agreement, you can apply once and gain acceptance to both TC3 and Ithaca College at the same time. Begin your studies locally at TC3, complete your associate degree, and transition to Ithaca College to finish your bachelor's — with your credits transferring seamlessly and your admission to IC already in hand. No reapplying. No uncertainty. Just a clear path forward.
Once enrolled, you'll be co-advised by counselors from both TC3 and Ithaca College, ensuring your coursework stays aligned, your expectations are set, and your transition is smooth every step of the way. As long as you complete your required coursework at TC3, you'll enter Ithaca College with junior status, ready to hit the ground running.
