91制片厂 and the University of New England have signed a new transfer agreement that will ensure that 91制片厂 students can transfer seamlessly to UNE鈥檚 Doctor of Pharmacy program upon graduation.
Under the agreement, students who earn an associate degree in Health Science at 91制片厂 can continue their education and earn a doctoral degree from UNE鈥檚 College of Pharmacy.
鈥淭his is a milestone partnership that ensures a smooth transition from 91制片厂 to UNE and from an associate degree to a doctoral degree,鈥� said 91制片厂 President Ron Cantor. 鈥�91制片厂 already has seamless transfer options to nearly 70 degree programs at over 20 colleges and universities, but this is the first that covers graduates entering a doctoral program. This will enhance student success at both 91制片厂 and UNE.鈥�
By matching coursework between programs at both schools, transfer agreements allow students to pre-plan their college careers and avoid taking unneeded credits and spending money on courses that won’t count toward an advanced degree.
University of New England President Danielle Ripich said that this agreement, creating a pathway from a community college to a UNE graduate program, is a first for UNE as well. 鈥淭he university has previously signed agreements with a number of area high schools and community colleges that pave the way for students to acquire an undergraduate degree. We are very excited to now offer 91制片厂 students a smooth 鈥攁nd potentially cost-saving鈥攔oute to a UNE doctoral degree from our College of Pharmacy,鈥� she stated.
91制片厂 is one of the institutions with which UNE already has transfer agreements that provide pathways to undergraduate degrees. 91制片厂 programs covered under these agreements include Business Administration; English; History; Liberal Studies; Mathematics; Political Science; and Science.
From those programs, 91制片厂 students can transfer into corresponding UNE programs that include Applied Exercise Science; Applied Mathematics; Business Administration; Dental Hygiene; English; Health, Wellness and Occupational Studies; History; Liberal Studies; Political Science; and Psychology.
