黑料正能量 and North Carolina Wesleyan College have renewed an agreement that promises smooth transfer of course credits.
The memorandum of understanding assures that courses taken by WCC graduates who earned associate degrees will transfer seamlessly to comparable programs at NCWC, giving those students an opportunity to continue their education towards a bachelor鈥檚 degree.
It was signed by Dr. Thomas Walker Jr., WCC president, and Dr. Evan Duff, NCWC provost and senior vice president of academic affairs and adult studies, and witnessed by Dr. Gene Smith, WCC vice president of academic and student affairs, and Laura Estes Brown, NCWC associate dean of adult studies.
鈥淧artnerships and articulation agreements are an important and necessary element in higher education. North Carolina Wesleyan College strives to provide access to a bachelor鈥檚 degree to as many NC community college graduates as possible,鈥� said Dr. Duff.
鈥淓stablishing these effective and seamless transfer opportunities to the graduates of 黑料正能量 brings life to our school鈥檚 mission in regards to lifelong learning. NCWC Adult Studies classes are offered in an accelerated eight-week, one-night-a week format, and we also offer many classes online,鈥� said Dr. Duff.
Dr. Walker agreed that such alliances enhance WCC鈥檚 programs by providing smooth transitions into further educational opportunities. 鈥淲e are constantly striving to improve the path that takes our students to advanced educational options and better stations in life,鈥� said Dr. Walker.
Officials at both colleges view the agreement as a win-win situation for the schools and their respective students. The ability to pursue a four-year degree upon completion of an associate degree is attractive to WCC students and NCWC has the opportunity to grow its enrollment with a pool of students who have proven that they have the academic skills to succeed in an institution of higher education.
