Macomb Community College (MCC) students will have an easier
process transferring to Eastern Michigan University as
a result of the signing of articulation agreements between
the two educational institutions. EMU's College of Business
(COB) and Macomb combined forces to ease the process for
students entering the COB by signing an agreement Oct.
23 at the Macomb campus.

GOOD BUSINESS:
EMU's College of
Business
and Macomb
Community College
(above) recently signed
an articulation
agreement that will
allow Macomb's
students an easier
transfer process. |
"We recognize the quality of their students, faculty and
curriculum," said David Mielke, dean of EMU's College of
Business. "In particular, we realize the innovation
that Macomb has developed in their associate of business
programs. It is a strong base for the completion of our
bachelor's degree program."
One agreement, which applies to any major in the College
of Business, is a formal guide that guarantees specific
courses and the business program from Macomb will transfer
to EMU and meet requirements toward the completion of a
business degree from the COB. The other articulates
Macomb's AAS in information technology with the bachelor's
in business administration in computer information systems
at EMU. The agreement will provide a study plan to assure
the courses that students complete at Macomb will apply
for their associate's degree and bachelor's degree at EMU.
"We want to build stronger cooperative relationships with
community colleges and attract their students to our business
programs. We view them as partners," said Mielke.
David Corba, Macomb's dean, business administration, is
excited to enter into the articulation agreement.
"Most Macomb students graduating with an associate of
business administration degree intend to continue their
education and earn a bachelor's degree. Those students
will find the articulation agreement with Eastern to be
very appealing," he said.
EMU's College of Business has been ranked among the "Best
Business Schools" five straight years, according to The
Princeton Review. The college hosts the nation's only Ethos
Week each year in March and also is the first to create
an "Ethos Statement" and "Ethos Honor Society." For more
