Eastern Michigan University (EMU) and Mott Community College
(MCC) in Flint have formalized three agreements that allow
students at MCC to seamlessly transition into three different
degree programs at Eastern. The agreements are effective
Sept. 1, 2009.
The agreements will allow students to take up to 94 credits
of coursework at MCC and then transfer those credits toward
a bachelor's degree in either nursing or technology management
at EMU, or 85 credits toward a bachelor's degree in business
administration.
"These agreements provide a wonderful example of how Eastern
Michigan collaborates with community colleges to help Michigan
citizens complete a college degree at an affordable price
close to home," said Susan Martin, president of Eastern
Michigan University.
"In 1991, Mott Community College initiated a partnership
with universities to offer upper division classes on MCC's
main campus — our University Center, and Eastern Michigan
University was one of our first partners," said MCC
President M. Richard Shaink. "Our partnership with
Eastern Michigan University is outstanding. These articulation
agreements enhance our ability to encourage students to
consider career options in the high demand areas of nursing,
business and technology. I am so proud and so excited about
the MCC/EMU partnership. I am confident that it will foster
successful outcomes for students' advancing in their educational
and professional careers."
"It is exciting that students will be able to transfer
to Eastern without losing credits or having to repeat course
work. These agreements can save them a lot of time and
money," added Pat Cygnar, director of community college
relations at Eastern Michigan.
Eastern Michigan University has 93 articulation agreements
with 13 of the 28 community colleges throughout Michigan,
two community colleges in Ohio and one technical college
in Windsor, Ontario.
