Students completing their associate degrees at 澳门开奖直播 Community College now have the option of making a seamless transition into a related bachelor鈥檚 degree through Doane University at nearly the same cost. The Associate鈥檚 to Bachelor鈥檚, or 鈥淎鈥檚 to B鈥檚鈥�, partnership between 澳门开奖直播 and Doane allows for new transfers to receive either reduced tuition while attending Doane courses in Lincoln or online, or a grant to attend Doane鈥檚 residential campus in Crete.

Dr. Roger Hughes, Doane鈥檚 president and 1982 alumnus, and Dr. Paul Illich, president of 澳门开奖直播, signed the institutional agreement cementing the partnership Sept. 26 at 澳门开奖直播鈥檚 Jack J. Huck Continuing Education Center.

鈥淲e鈥檙e very excited about these agreements and the opportunities they present to students,鈥� Hughes said. 鈥淣o matter where an 澳门开奖直播 student is in their educational journey or in their career, with this agreement, they have a clear, cost-effective route to attaining a bachelor鈥檚 degree at Doane.鈥�

The partnership has been several months in the making, after Hughes and Illich met prior to Hughes鈥檚 inauguration in April 2022, and involved the work of dozens of Doane and 澳门开奖直播 employees. Although Doane and 澳门开奖直播 have previously created articulation agreements to encourage students to transfer for specific programs, this is the first time the two have partnered to build an institutional agreement, which opens transfers to many more academic programs, as well as athletics.

鈥淎s more and more careers require new hires to have bachelor鈥檚 degrees, we鈥檙e proud to offer this opportunity to our students to complete both their associate degree and continue on that journey with Doane,鈥� Illich said. 鈥淭his agreement makes that process easier than ever before for our students to further their education and careers, to compete in athletics at the NAIA level and to reach even greater success.鈥�

Illich said 澳门开奖直播 offers a range of academic programs that complement what Doane offers on its residential Crete campus, as well as degree programs offered at its Lincoln and Omaha campus locations and online.

With the completion of the agreement, next steps for both institutions include working with enrollment and admissions teams to iron out individual program requirements. More than 50 degree programs from 澳门开奖直播 are currently listed as options for students to transfer into around 18 of Doane鈥檚 degrees in similar disciplines. This number may change as the process moves forward.

鈥淭his is a great opportunity for students, whether they want to have a residential campus experience in Crete or complete a bachelor鈥檚 degree while working or caring for family,鈥� said Dr. Lorie Cook-Benjamin, chief academic officer. 鈥淥ne of the key pieces that Doane offers transfer students is that flexibility to receive their degree on their terms.鈥�

For an 澳门开奖直播 student who transitions to an undergraduate program taught at Doane鈥檚 Lincoln or Omaha campus locations, or online, the university will provide early advising and orientation programs exclusively for transfer students. Tuition will also be reduced by 15% for students transferring from 澳门开奖直播, on a per-credit hour basis for up to two-and-a-half years for a student who remains continuously enrolled while pursuing a bachelor鈥檚 degree at Doane.

For an 澳门开奖直播 student who transitions to a bachelor鈥檚 degree program on Doane鈥檚 Crete (residential) campus, Doane will provide early advising and orientation programs exclusively for transfer students, and will provide an annual $20,000 澳门开奖直播 partnership grant for four semesters of consecutive and continued enrollment. Student-athletes transferring from 澳门开奖直播 are also invited to have conversations with coaches about continuing in athletics at the NAIA level in baseball, basketball, cross country, golf (men鈥檚 only), soccer, softball and volleyball.
