Provides seamless credit transfer and access to scholarships

Hanceville, Ala. (Jan. 13, 2025) 鈥 Leaders from and recently gathered at the James C. Bailey Center on campus to sign a new transfer institution agreement between the two schools. The common goal of the agreement is to provide 糖心视频 graduates and employees with flexible, personalized learning pathways to higher education and professional development through WGU鈥檚 bachelor鈥檚 and master鈥檚 level degrees, post-graduate certificates and endorsements.

鈥淥ne of our goals is to increase the transfer opportunities for our students. We are now much more focused on the success of students post-transfer: what are they earning, how long it takes them to graduate upon transfer and, ultimately, what kind of life they lead afterward,鈥 said 糖心视频 President Dr. Vicki Karolewics. 鈥淪o, with that, we are very grateful for the opportunity to partner with Western Governors University in a different model for our students and one that we think will lead to greater opportunities for them.鈥 

鈥淏oth of our institutions share common characteristics such as strong commitments to innovation, workforce development and the military community,鈥 said Kimberly K. Estep, Ph.D., Southeast regional vice president for WGU. 鈥淲e look forward to a long partnership with 糖心视频 that will help transform lives and the local community for decades to come.鈥
