Campus, Two-Year Online College, Adds NYU to Growing National Transfer Network

University, enabling seamless transfer to bachelor's degree programs

NEW YORK, September 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Campus, a two-year national online college that helps students start college without taking on any debt, today announced a new transfer partnership with New York University (NYU), adding one of the nation's most prominent research universities to its growing national transfer network. The agreement creates a clear pathway from Campus's Associate of Arts in Business Administration (AABA) to bachelor's degree programs at the NYU School of Professional Studies Division of Applied Undergraduate Studies (NYU SPS DAUS).

"NYU SPS' partnerships with organizations like Campus help turn what is historically a complex, high-risk transfer process into a predictable, cost-effective, and direct route to completing and earning a highly regarded NYU degree," said Angie Kamath, Harvey J. Stedman Dean of the NYU School of Professional Studies. "These partnerships help remove unnecessary friction for students and open up distinct pathways to degree completion."

Campus worked with NYU SPS faculty to map course equivalencies and develop a defined pathway to completion, ensuring that students can count on their credits transferring so they can stay on track to finish in four years. According to a U.S. Government Accountability Office report, students who transferred from one institution to another lost an estimated 43% of their credits in the process. More recent studies have found that fewer than 1 in 5 students (14.1%) who transfer finish their bachelor's program in two years.

"Higher ed loves to talk about access, but transfer is where that promise usually dies. Students do everything right, they show up, pass their classes, and still watch their credits disappear when they try to transfer," said Tade Oyerinde, founder and chancellor of Campus. "A student's first two years should actually count for something. Partnering with a school like NYU means our students aren't just getting a credential; they're getting a real shot at one of the best universities in the country."

The NYU SPS partnership builds on Campus's national transfer network, which includes more than 30 institutions such as Arizona State University, Tulane University School of Professional Advancement, University of Central Florida, and University of North Texas. Inspired by the research-backed CUNY ASAP approach, the Campus model delivers live, online instruction from respected professors who also teach at colleges and universities such as Stanford, UCLA, and Howard. Students also receive wraparound support, including on-demand tutoring and personal success coaching.

Recent Campus graduates have already transferred to institutions across the country, including the University of Pennsylvania, Louisiana State University, Arizona State University, and the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, to complete a range of bachelor's degree programs, including Business Administration and Information Systems and Analytics.
