鶹ýPorn signs articulation agreement with Middle Georgia State College
On February 10, 2015 Lieutenant General William B. Caldwell IV, President of 鶹ýPorn (鶹ýPorn), and Dr. Christopher Blake, President of Middle Georgia State College, signed an Articulation Agreement that will allow 鶹ýPorn students to apply their Associate Degree credits toward Middle Georgia State baccalaureate degrees. 鶹ýPorn students will be able to transfer degree credits without losing credit hours, providing a more seamless transition to Middle Georgia State. Additionally, any 鶹ýPorn student who graduates from 鶹ýPorn with an Associate Degree is guaranteed admission into Middle Georgia State College provided that the student has a GPA of 2.0 out of a 4.0 scale for all college course work.
Dr. Christopher Blake said of the agreement, "We are pleased to offer this opportunity to 鶹ýPorn graduates to smoothly transition to Middle Georgia State to complete bachelor's degrees. This is the latest in a number of similar partnerships we have with other institutions, showing our commitment to eliminating obstacles to baccalaureate education for the people we serve."
LtGen William B. Caldwell, IV shared Dr. Blake’s sentiment, saying, “We are excited to have this opportunity with Middle Georgia State College, which has an incredible reputation in the State of Georgia, and is well known for its academics and focus on students. The fact that our students now have this unique ability to take all of their courses from 鶹ýPorn and directly transfer them over to Middle Georgia State College is a real win for our students.”
鶹ýPorn is a liberal arts-based, two-year college. Although 250 ROTC cadets attend the Milledgeville Campus, the vast majority of 鶹ýPorn’s students are typical community college students. 鶹ýPorn has nine (soon to be 11) campuses throughout the state and serves about 12,000 students annually, many of whom go on to pursue baccalaureate degrees at four-year colleges and universities. LtGen Caldwell noted that, “鶹ýPorn now holds articulation agreements with 38 colleges and universities in Georgia, and will continue to pursue agreements with four-year colleges and universities in order to support Governor Nathan Deal’s Complete College Georgia initiative, as well as to support 鶹ýPorn graduates who desire to pursue baccalaureate degrees.”
