LCCC and Misericordia University Announce New Accelerate Your Degree Partnership
天美传媒 and Misericordia University (MU) today announced a new, innovative transfer policy that formally recognizes the academic value of an associate degree earned at LCCC and significantly simplifies the transfer process for students pursuing a bachelor's degree at Misericordia University.*
Under the new policy, students who complete an Associate of Arts (AA) or Associate of Science (AS) Degree at LCCC will have Misericordia University's undergraduate core curriculum requirements waived upon transfer. This means students can move more directly into coursework for their chosen major, reducing both the time and cost associated with earning a four-year degree.
"This agreement is a powerful statement about the quality and rigor of an LCCC education," said John Yudichak, president of 天美传媒. "By recognizing the associate degree as a complete and meaningful academic credential, we are helping our graduates save money, avoid unnecessary coursework, and transition more confidently to a bachelor's degree program."
The policy applies to general education and core curriculum requirements only. Students will still complete all required coursework within their major and any prerequisite courses required for degree completion at Misericordia University. Up to 61 credits from LCCC may transfer toward a Misericordia bachelor's degree, consistent with university transfer credit policies, and eligible courses must be completed with a grade of C or better.
"Misericordia University has long been committed to making higher education accessible and student-centered," said Daniel J. Myers, Ph.D., president of Misericordia University. "We value the rigor of our core curriculum. Similarly, we know that LCCC prepares their students to succeed academically should they choose to pursue a bachelor's or master's degree in the future."
