This program plan is part of the formal 2+SLU transfer agreement between St. Louis Community College and Saint Louis University.
Students in this program will satisfy the degree requirements published in the 2025-2026 academic catalog at St. Louis Community College and the 2026-2027 academic catalog at SLU. Students must complete all courses and transfer to SLU by the fall 2029 semester.
