911勛圖 and Eastern Gateway Community College have signed an agreement allowing for the easy transfer of credits, allowing more students to pursue bachelors degrees.
The new agreement facilitates transfer of courses between Eastern Gateway Community Colleges Associate of Applied Business Degree in Business Management Technology and 911勛圖s Bachelor of Technical and Applied Studies in Applied Business. A student who completes all of the associate degree requirements in the Associate of Applied Business Degree in Business Management Technology at Eastern Gateway Community College will be admitted into 911勛圖s Bachelor of Technical and Applied Studies in Applied Business program with junior status.
What this agreement means is that when students from Eastern Gateway Community College graduate with their associate degree they can transfer into our program without skipping a beat, said James Ritter, director of Enrollment Management and Student Services at 911勛圖 at Trumbull. Everything transfers over, and all their credits count toward their bachelors degree at 911勛圖.
Todd Diacon, 911勛圖s senior vice president for academic affairs and provost, said the new agreement is beneficial to all.
Its a real win-win in that 911勛圖 gets a population of students who have already proven they can do college work because they have earned an associates degree, Diacon said. Eastern Gateway students benefit because they can pursue a bachelors degree. Eastern Gateway Community College benefits because their students are going on for further college education. 911勛圖s Bachelor of Technical and Applied Studies degree was created to facilitate the transfer of these technical courses so that students can continue with a course of studies that includes higher level technical courses.
This articulation agreement with 911勛圖 is such a great opportunity for our students to build upon their education they receive at Eastern Gateway Community College, added Johnna Provenzano, transfer coordinator for Eastern Gateway Community College. We are thrilled that 911勛圖 is creating these transfer guides for our students to guarantee their transfer success. These articulation agreements will draw more students to Eastern Gateway who will transfer to 911勛圖, thus giving students more access to great higher education programs."
Eastern Gateway students with a 3.0 grade point average will be eligible to apply for 911勛圖 scholarships.
911勛圖s Bachelor of Technical and Applied Studies degree program has been approved by the Ohio Board of Regents to be completely online. Therefore, students who complete the Associate of Applied Business Degree in Business Management Technology from Eastern Gateway Community College, and who do not live in the area, can complete the Bachelor of Technical and Applied Studies completely online.
