New Brunswick Community College
Fredericton – Moncton (NBCC) - The New Brunswick Community College (NBCC) and Crandall University are pleased to announce the recent signing of a new articulation agreement, which provides smoother access for NBCC graduates into Crandall's Bachelor of Arts Degree in Organizational Management.
“We are pleased to have established this relationship with Crandall University," said Bill Best, interim President and CEO of the New Brunswick Community College. "This articulation agreement will provide additional opportunity for our students to pursue the pathway to a degree. Our organization promotes and encourages continuous learning and achievement of career success for our graduates.”
This agreement, effective immediately, will provide advanced standing for any NBCC graduate, who has completed the Diploma in Business Administration, which in turn can mean recognition for as much as half of the required credits needed to complete Crandall's B.A. degree with a major in Organizational Management. This partnership builds on past agreements that have been forged between NBCC and Crandall University.
"The signing of this agreement is significant on a number of levels," states Dr. Seth Crowell, Academic Vice-President of Crandall, "for it reinforces and formalizes the growing relationship that we have been able to develop with the NBCC over the years and it provides additional options to its graduates as well as the possibility of accomplished and capable students stepping into our degree program."
Dr. Roger Russell, the Director of Crandall's Adult Learner Professional Studies Division, also notes that, "One of the real advantages of this particular degree program is that it is offered in an intensive format in the evenings and this allows NBCC graduates to potentially step into a job for which they have been trained at the Community College, while also working out a formal continuing education plan with Crandall which can lead to a degree and enhanced employment opportunities in the future."
Students interested in the new articulation agreement are encouraged to contact NBCC or Crandall University today for programs starting in September 2010
