2+2 PARTNERSHIPS
Seward County Community College and Kansas State University have developed a 2+2 agreement for nontraditional, place-bound learners. This agreement will allow SCCC students to earn an associate of science degree in general business, and then transfer those credits to K-State toward the completion of a bachelor of science degree in general business offered through distance education.
In addition, SCCC has enhanced its agreement for those students who wish to transfer to the K-State campus to complete a degree in business administration.
Betty Stevens, associate vice provost for information technology partnerships and associate dean of K-State’s Division of Continuing Education, said the agreement will create a visual guide for community college students who plan to transfer to a degree completion program at K-State.
Representatives on hand for the signing included Dr. Duane Dunn, SCCC president; Marcia Hatcher, chair of the SCCC Business Division; Provost Duane Nellis of K-State; Beth Unger, vice provost and dean of the Division of Continuing Education at K-State; Ike Ehie, associate dean for the College of Business Administration at K-State and Donna Shank, new chair of the Kansas Board of Regents.
“This articulation agreement is a great opportunity for our students,” said Hatcher,“and will benefit those who want to stay in southwest Kansas and complete a bachelor’s degree through distance education as well as those who would like to transfer to the K-State campus.” Through a variety of distance learning methods— online, video, ITV— students can stay in southwest Kansas and complete their bachelor’s degree.
