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.
Students who plan to transfer to SLU after fall 2029 should contact a transfer admission counselor to explore options.
Students who have been following a program plan from a previous year's academic catalog can reference their older program plan version by reviewing our previous catalogs.
For additional information see the catalog entry for:

- Students must complete an application for admission.
- Students may be subject to admission review under circumstances outlined in the Admission Policies.
- Students must present at least a 2.50 cumulative college GPA at the time of transfer to SLU.
- Students wishing to be considered for a departmental scholarship must submit a portfolio for consideration. Applicants register and submit their portfolio on SlideRoom. Portfolios should have 12 to 15 examples of artwork representing a range of interests and skills, including observation-based drawing. SlideRoom charges applicants a transaction fee to submit a portfolio.
Program plans provide a guided pathway for students to earn an associate degree at their home institution and a bachelor's degree at Saint Louis University. Students may change the sequence in which they complete courses at their home institution. Students who complete a course that is not part of this program plan are encouraged to contact SLU to see if the course could be substituted.
