Notes: This scenario assumes that you will opt to take MATH 150 rather than MATH 105, which is built into the A.O.S. program. (If you take MATH 151 at HVCC, it will satisfy both MTH 180 and MTH 182 at Penn College.)
If you do not satisfy most, if not all, of these general education courses at Hudson Valley Community College, you will need at least five semesters to earn your bachelor's degree at Penn College.
HVAC Technology Major Courses
These courses will substitute as a block if satisfactorily completed with a GPA of 2.0 or higher. Courses are not evaluated individually. By completing all of the listed HVCC courses, you will receive credit for all of the listed Penn College courses.
