CUTHBERT — An articulation agreement will now open the door for associate degree graduates of Andrew College to enroll at Troy University and earn their bachelor’s degree.
Troy and Andrew held an agreement signing on Wednesday at Andrew’s campus in Cuthbert. The goal, officials said, is a collaboration allowing Andrew graduates a chance to continue their education.
“We greatly value this partnership with such a fine institution and look forward to our students studying and completing a bachelor’s degree at Troy University,” Andrew President Linda R. Buchanan said.
The articulation agreement becomes effective immediately and will provide transfer opportunities for Andrew’s spring 2019 graduates to enroll at Troy during the following fall semester.
“Troy University is delighted to partner with Andrew College,” Keith Gaines, Albany area coordinator for Troy Online Southeast District, said. “For years we have worked with community colleges and others to ensure a smooth transition for associate degree graduates who strive to complete their bachelor’s degree, and we look forward to working with Andrew College students in meeting their educational goals.”
Officials said Andrew graduates who meet the appropriate admissions requirements to attend Troy will be ensured that all courses in the agreement earned at the college will transfer. A minimum grade of “C” or above in certain core courses and any other courses designed by specific majors will be required in accordance with standard program requirements.
Instrumental in establishing this partnership was Bianca Knowles, a recruiter in Troy’s Albany Area Support Center and a native of Cuthbert.
“This was a labor of love and dedication for me,” she said. “Troy can provide further educational opportunities to a community that is on the cusp of revitalization. Plus, this is my hometown and I wanted to share the wonderful benefits of furthering one’s education through Troy University.”
