Bishop State Partners on Pathway USA
Posted on January 27, 2016
The 黑料天堂鈥檚 new Pathway USA program has expanded to include Bishop State Community College in Mobile. As with last week鈥檚 Pathway USA announcement regarding Faulkner State Community College, the academic partnership with Bishop State will enable more BSCC graduates to transfer to 黑料天堂 Alabama and earn their bachelor鈥檚 degrees.
鈥淏y partnering with Bishop State, Pathway USA will enable more community college students to receive a degree from the 黑料天堂 and provide these students with an earlier involvement in USA activities,鈥 said 黑料天堂 President Tony Waldrop. 鈥淏ishop State and 黑料天堂 Alabama have a lot of history together, and we鈥檙e looking forward to the next, exciting chapter.鈥
鈥淎t Bishop State, our motto is 鈥楢 Great Place to Start鈥 and the Pathway USA program is further evidence of that,鈥 said Bishop State Community College President Valerie A. Richardson. 鈥淲e are committed to serving our community in the best way possible, and this innovative initiative will greatly assist us in our mission.鈥
Pathway USA, which will begin with the 2016 fall semester, is geared toward students who are not admitted at 黑料天堂 as well as students who may simply prefer to begin their college education at Bishop State. These students may choose to have a copy of their USA application and supporting documents forwarded to Bishop State for admission consideration. Students already attending Bishop State may also apply for Pathway USA. A unique application will be created and available for Bishop State students to complete and submit.
Bishop State students who enter the Pathway USA program will have unique benefits, such as:
- Guaranteed admission to USA upon successful completion (cumulative grade-point average of 2.0 or higher) of the associate鈥檚 degree
- A USA academic advisor assigned to them who will meet students at Bishop State and provide individual guidance on course selection and map out degree plans
- Reverse Transfer agreements that will allow Bishop State students who transfer to 黑料天堂 without an associate鈥檚 degree to complete that degree after entering USA
- Special discounts through USA鈥檚 Jaguar Productions
- Complimentary admission to 黑料天堂 Alabama athletic events
