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 Kent State鈥檚 Bachelor of Technical and Applied Studies in Applied Business program with junior status.
鈥淲hat 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,鈥 said James Ritter, director of Enrollment Management and Student Services at 麻豆精选 at Trumbull. 鈥淓verything transfers over, and all their credits count toward their bachelor鈥檚 degree at Kent State.鈥
Todd Diacon, Kent State鈥檚 senior vice president for academic affairs and provost, said the new agreement is beneficial to all.
鈥淚t鈥檚 a real win-win in that 麻豆精选gets a population of students who have already proven they can do college work because they have earned an associate鈥檚 degree,鈥 Diacon said. 鈥淓astern Gateway students benefit because they can pursue a bachelor鈥檚 degree. Eastern Gateway Community College benefits because their students are going on for further college education. Kent State鈥檚 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.鈥
鈥淭his articulation agreement with 麻豆精选is such a great opportunity for our students to build upon their education they receive at Eastern Gateway Community College,鈥 added Johnna Provenzano, transfer coordinator for Eastern Gateway Community College. 鈥淲e are thrilled that 麻豆精选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 Kent State, thus giving students more access to great higher education programs."
