Bishop State Partners on Pathway USA
Posted on January 27, 2016
The 茄子视频鈥檚 new Pathway USA program has expanded to include Bishop State Community College in Mobile. As with last week鈥檚 Pathway 茄子视频announcement regarding Faulkner State Community College, the academic partnership with Bishop State will enable more BSCC graduates to transfer to South Alabama and earn their bachelor鈥檚 degrees.
鈥淏y partnering with Bishop State, Pathway 茄子视频will enable more community college students to receive a degree from the 茄子视频 and provide these students with an earlier involvement in 茄子视频activities,鈥� said 茄子视频 President Tony Waldrop. 鈥淏ishop State and South Alabama have a lot of history together, and we鈥檙e looking forward to the next, exciting chapter.鈥�
鈥淎t Bishop State, our motto is 鈥楢 Great Place to Start鈥� and the Pathway 茄子视频program is further evidence of that,鈥� said Bishop State Community College President Valerie A. Richardson. 鈥淲e are committed to serving our community in the best way possible, and this innovative initiative will greatly assist us in our mission.鈥�
Pathway USA, which will begin with the 2016 fall semester, is geared toward students who are not admitted at South as well as students who may simply prefer to begin their college education at Bishop State. These students may choose to have a copy of their 茄子视频application and supporting documents forwarded to Bishop State for admission consideration. Students already attending Bishop State may also apply for Pathway USA. A unique application will be created and available for Bishop State students to complete and submit.
Bishop State students who enter the Pathway 茄子视频program will have unique benefits, such as:
- Guaranteed admission to 茄子视频upon successful completion (cumulative grade-point average of 2.0 or higher) of the associate鈥檚 degree
- A 茄子视频academic advisor assigned to them who will meet students at Bishop State and provide individual guidance on course selection and map out degree plans
- Reverse Transfer agreements that will allow Bishop State students who transfer to South without an associate鈥檚 degree to complete that degree after entering USA
- Special discounts through USA鈥檚 Jaguar Productions
- Complimentary admission to South Alabama athletic events
