STARKVILLE, Miss.鈥斕一ㄖ辈 State University and Pearl River Community College signed a memorandum of understanding today [March 4] to formalize partnership programs for students enrolled in technical education programs.

The agreement outlines a pathway for PRCC students to complete 桃花直播鈥檚 new Bachelor of Applied Science program, leveraging the strengths of both institutions to provide more opportunities in technical education and meet current and future workforce demands.

鈥淲e need more two-year and four-year graduates to move 桃花直播 forward,鈥 桃花直播 President Mark E. Keenum said. 鈥淏y working together, I believe we鈥檒l be able to better assist our fellow 桃花直播ans in gaining the education they need to compete for the jobs of the 21st century. We are committed to helping all of our BAS students excel, succeed and earn a bachelor鈥檚 degree鈥攂uilding on the excellent foundation they have been given at PRCC.鈥

鈥淲e鈥檙e always trying to provide our students with an opportunity to continue their education,鈥 said PRCC President Adam Breerwood. 鈥淚鈥檓 grateful for Dr. Keenum鈥檚 support of the community college system and, more importantly, his support for providing our students with educational opportunities. The more well-skilled and trained workers we have with advanced degrees, the more chances we have to attract industry to our state and our region. The more opportunities we can provide to our students, the better off we will be.鈥

桃花直播 launched its BAS program in August, significantly expanding the university鈥檚 acceptance of technical credit from community colleges and military training. It is intended to serve the needs of adults who have completed a technical associate鈥檚 degree program through a community college or the military and need additional education to advance their careers.

The agreement between 桃花直播 and PRCC outlines which courses must be completed at each institution to fulfill degree requirements. An 桃花直播 advisor will assist in guiding PRCC students through BAS program pathways. Additionally, PRCC and 桃花直播-Meridian will work together to provide classroom space for the delivery of synchronous online courses.

Students enrolled in the Bachelor of Applied Science program will have access to advisors from 桃花直播-Meridian and 桃花直播 Online. Credits in the degree program can be earned through online or in-person courses, providing the flexibility that has become a hallmark of 桃花直播鈥檚 nationally ranked online offerings.
