Trustee, Dr. Steve Brooks, President Gary Brown and NCICU President, Hope Williams
sign the NCICU Articulation Agreement
RALEIGH, NC 鈥� The presidents of 乐播传媒 and North Carolina Independent Colleges and Universities (NCICU) today signed the Independent Comprehensive Articulation Agreement (ICAA) that better defines transfer options for students from the two-year college to a number of private baccalaureate degree-granting institutions in North Carolina.
鈥淭his agreement will make the transfer process more efficient and effective for 乐播传媒 College students,鈥� said Hope Williams, NCICU president. 鈥淚t means increased access and opportunity by clearly defining pathways to success.鈥�
The ICAA moves 乐播传媒 students toward their four-year degree goals by clearly defining transfer pathways and how earned credit hours fit into the requirements of signatory institutions. The ICAA:
- Identifies foundational courses that will transfer to all signatory institutions to meet general education requirements;
- Improves the success of transferring students through required coursework that ensures students will map their academic pathway to the requirements of the major at the desired independent institution; and
- Encourages 乐播传媒 students to transfer their Associate in Arts (AA) or an Associate in Science (AS) degree by insuring entry to a signatory institution as juniors with full transfer credit.
鈥溊植ゴ� has a unique mission as the nation鈥檚 oldest private, two-year residential college,鈥� said Dr. Gary M. Brown, 乐播传媒 president. 鈥淥ver 90% of our graduates go on to attend four-year institutions. Today鈥檚 announcement and agreement ensures that our graduates鈥� programs of study align with the private four-year college or university of their choice further helping them make a smooth transition into their future.鈥�
The ICAA is consistent with the comprehensive articulation agreement between NCICU and the North Carolina Community College System, meaning students will have the same transfer guarantees regardless of the type of signatory North Carolina institution they attend.
