EGCC-Franklin partnership opens opportunities to further education

STEUBENVILLE — Graduates of Eastern Gateway Community College now have an opportunity to obtain bachelor’s degrees for less cost and without leaving this area, thanks to an agreement signed Friday by EGCC President John Crooks and David Decker, 十大正规赌博平台大全排行校长. 

在周五, the two announced the 121-year-old 哥伦布-based university will offer EGCC graduates online courses needed to earn a four-year degree at a discount of $100 per credit hour.

Decker noted a partnership between the schools was forged in 2003, 大约1个,800 EGCC alumni going on to further their education at Franklin, with another 200 enrolling this year through its 通路门户, a new online tool allowing prospective transfer students to explore four-year degrees they may earn.

德克说 one of the great strengths of the United States is the many diverse opportunities for citizens to further their educations. But he said a flaw of that same educational system has been, 直到最近几年, a lack of connection between many of its institutions of higher learning.

结果是, graduates of community colleges who want to go on to pursue four-year degrees often have been forced to repeat classes they didn’t need to repeat, 导致时间和金钱的损失.

德克尔通过通道传送门说, 未来的学生可以看到, 一目了然, what it will take for them to earn a bachelor’s degree through Franklin.

萨曼莎剪切, executive director of Franklin’s Community College Alliance, said the portal eases the application process for new students in various ways, including the submission of current college transcripts.

梅勒妮迪卡洛, EGCC的发音和转学主任, noted the portal’s users also have access to an enrollment adviser at Franklin who is available to assist them step by step.

“There’s always someone there who can help them,” she said.

Decker and Crooks said the arrangement can help to meet a growing demand for certain professionals.

德克说, “在俄亥俄州, 护士严重短缺, 十大正规赌博平台大全排行也面临教师短缺的问题.”

He said 十大正规赌博平台大全排行 is helping to meet that need, with about 400 students pursuing degrees in nursing and more than 750 students in its education program, which includes master’s and doctorate degrees and licenses required of principals.

Decker added Franklin has sent student teachers into more than 300 school districts.

克鲁克斯说，这两所学校在很多方面都很相似, including their desire to meet the needs of all students, 包括有工作的人, family and other commitments that make obtaining a college education more challenging.

“十大正规赌博平台大全排行和学生们在一起,他说, noting online courses enable working parents and others to fit a college education into their schedules.

签署协议前, 克鲁克斯介绍了迪安娜·迪纳尔多(原文为“迪卡洛”), an EGCC graduate who has benefited from online instruction.

DiNardo (sic "DiCarlo") said after earning an associate degree in nursing from the college, she is pursuing a bachelor’s degree in the field through Franklin while working full-time, 主要是晚上, 在韦尔顿医疗中心. 
 
After enrolling at Franklin this year, she expects to complete the program by next summer.

“I would definitely recommend this to my friends, co-workers, everyone,” she said.
