伊莉莎白市.C. – Transferring to 伊丽莎白市立大学 (ECSU) from 阿尔伯马尔学院(COA) is now easier than ever thanks to three new memorandums of understanding (MOU) signed by both institutions on 星期四rsday.
在一个简短的仪式上, ECSU Provost Farrah Ward and COA President Jack Bagwell signed two bilateral agreements – one for the Bachelor of Science in Aviation Science with a concentration in Professional Aeronautics and the other for the Bachelor of Science in Aviation Science with a concentration in Aviation Management. The agreements will make it easier for COA students who earn their Associate in Applied Science in Aviation Systems Technology and have a cumulative GPA of 2.0对4.0级被ECSU录取.
“In 2019, when we were signing articulation agreements with community colleges, 迪克森校长和沃德教务长问道, “我们可以用COA做什么??’” said Kuldeep Rawat, dean of the School of Science, Aviation, Health, and Technology.
“I’m glad we are finally here today to be able to sign the agreements,” he said.
The connection between the aviation programs at both institutions runs deep. COA students are instrumental in the mechanical maintenance of the aircraft in the ECSU Viking Fleet.
“We’re not in competition with one another; we’re in partnership,” said President Bagwell. “These agreements signify our dedication to fostering seamless pathways for student success and strengthening our relationship with 伊丽莎白市立大学.”
The third document signed was the Viking Advantage Agreement, an admissions and advising partnership between the two institutions designed to improve transfer student access and success through a collaborative baccalaureate degree program for all programs at ECSU.
Viking Advantage is designed to support the ECSU’s ongoing commitment to improving access to baccalaureate degree programs for as many students as possible. This program will offer up to 10 COA transfer students $1,000 scholarships per year. Other benefits for all Viking Advantage students include:
- access to ECSU transfer admissions counselors at COA
- 提高转学留校率和毕业率
- 无缝完成学位的途径
- 提高完成学位的效率
- 消除学生成功的障碍
- 优化学生服务和资源
- preparing students for success in a global workforce
- strengthening the existing partnership between the institutions
COA students who meet the Viking Advantage program requirements will also have guaranteed admission to ECSU upon completion of an Associate in Arts, 理学副学士, 教师准备艺术副学士, 教师准备科学副学士学位, 美术副学士, or an Associate of Applied Science in which ECSU and COA have an established bilateral agreement.
“COA has long been our closest community college partner, and today’s signing demonstrates ECSU’s commitment to ensuring COA students have access to a quality, 负担得起的教育,沃德说.
