Missouri Western State University has signed an articulation partnership with North Central Missouri College.
This agreement between the two schools will help students transfer from NCMC to Missouri Western with ease.
Assistant Director of Marketing and Communications for Missouri Western Kent Heier says they are providing NCMC students with a clear pathway to transfer to Missouri Western.
"Oftentimes when a community college student is looking to continue their education, they find that some of the classes they took at the community college don't transfer like they thought they would," Heier tells St. Joseph Post.
Heier says this will help students complete their four-year degree.
"It's going to eliminate course duplication and it's going to provide them with a very clear pathway towards getting that four-year degree," says Heier.
Heier says this is an advantage for students that want to get a four-year degree after attending NCMC.
"Certainly we hope that that means more students will choose to come to Missouri Western to finish their four-year degree and we hope that means more students recognize that NCMC is a great place for them to start their college career if that's the option for them," says Heier.
Heier says he hopes this results in growing enrollment for both schools.
