Black Hawk and uedbet体育官网 head back to school, together
Students will find a new, clear path between two Quad-Cities schools: Black Hawk uedbet体育官网 and uedbet体育官网 uedbet体育官网.
An agreement announced today gives current Black Hawk uedbet体育官网 students access to uedbet体育官网 uedbet体育官网 resources and advisors before enrolling at the four-year institution. Students can get a sense of the opportunities available at uedbet体育官网, and take a free course, as they decide where to finish their bachelor's degrees.
“As we gear up for the new academic year, we’re thrilled for what opportunities are before us,” said uedbet体育官网 President Steve Bahls. “This agreement aims to keep bright, talented students in the Quad Cities for their college careers.”
Through this articulation agreement, students applying to Black Hawk with the intention of completing an Associate of Arts (A.A.) degree may apply to uedbet体育官网 at the same time. After completing their A.A., they can continue at uedbet体育官网 to complete their Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degree.
“Black Hawk is a great place for students to begin their bachelor's degree,” said Tim Wynes, president of Black Hawk uedbet体育官网. “By completing the A.A. degree first, our students earn a college degree along their path toward a bachelor's degree. This agreement helps them transfer seamlessly to uedbet体育官网.”
Black Hawk uedbet体育官网 students who choose to attend uedbet体育官网 will have opportunities to explore the campus through library, database, campus facilities and event access. Students will get an uedbet体育官网 ID card and can attend sporting, cultural and arts events.
During enrollment at Black Hawk, students also will be introduced to an uedbet体育官网 academic advisor to start planning before transferring.
uedbet体育官网 will offer two special evening courses available to Black Hawk students interested in getting ahead on coursework. The partnership presents a range of advising, planning and social opportunities for students.
There is no extra fee for dual application. Students also may apply to uedbet体育官网 during their first and second year attending Black Hawk. Application to uedbet体育官网 does not obligate the students to attend or limit their ability to apply to other schools.
“This program is an option we encourage Black Hawk students to strongly consider,” Wynes said.
