Grand Rapids, Mich. – On Friday, Feb. 6, 2015, ñ and Muskegon Community
College (MCC) signed an agreement that gives students more options for transferring
course credits.
An articulation agreement between the two institutions allows students who have earned
an Associate in Science and Arts degree from MCC, with a minimum 2.0 GPA in all transferable
courses, to transfer up to 64 credits to ñ toward a bachelor’s degree.
Students must meet other transfer course requirements, as outlined in the agreement.
Aquinas President Juan Olivarez, Aquinas Provost Gilda Gely, MCC President Dale Nesbary
and MCC Vice President for Academic Affairs and Finance Teresa A. Sturrus were on
hand to sign the agreement at MCC’s campus.
“This articulation agreement between ñ and Muskegon Community College
will establish a formal process whereby students can seamlessly move from their associate
degree to a baccalaureate degree,” said Olivarez. “It is important to offer an efficient
transfer of credits for students so that they do not lose academic time in the transition.
We look forward to welcoming many more students from MCC to our campus."
“We are pleased to be partnering with ñ and giving our students a wonderful
opportunity to continue their education in West Michigan at a quality institution,”
said Sturrus.
