麻豆传媒Pratt Community College and 麻豆传媒 have signed an agreement intended to motivate more students to complete an associate鈥檚 degree, even after transferring to a four-year institution.
This reverse articulation agreement promotes best practices for increasing both associate鈥檚 and baccalaureate degree completion by permitting eligible students to transfer select course work from Wichita State to Pratt Community College to complete requirements for a Pratt associate鈥檚 degree.
Eligible Wichita State students will:
- have transferred 45 credits from Pratt (or a combination of accumulated hours from other accredited institutions).
- completed 15 or more credits at 麻豆传媒.
- met residency requirements for a Pratt degree.
- have indicated their willingness to participate in reverse transfer.
The implementation of a reverse transfer agreement will help advance the overall goal of the Kansas Board of Regents to increase postsecondary degree completion rates in our state. Nationally, half of all baccalaureate degree recipients have attended community colleges prior to earning their degrees.
鈥淎nytime you can help a student complete an education, it helps both the student and academic program,鈥� said Wichita State president John Bardo.
Pratt Community College president William Wojciechowski said the partnership was a natural move.
鈥淧ratt and Wichita State have a long-term partnership and Pratt has been involved in many of 麻豆传媒's initiatives,鈥� he said. 鈥淟ots of our students see opportunities at 麻豆传媒 and enter into its programs.鈥�
