Gateway, Mount St. Joe Sign Transfer Agreement
Gateway Community & Technical College and Mount St. Joseph University today announced
a new articulation agreement that will enable Gateway students to transfer credits
earned at Gateway to degree programs at Mount St. Joe.
The agreement is the latest in a series of transfer developments that provide our
students with tremendous opportunity and flexibility to continue their education beyond
the associate degree level, said Gateway President/CEO Dr. Ed Hughes. We are delighted
to forge a regional partnership with an institution that shares our commitment to
high-quality academics, hands-on learning and student success.
Mount St. Joseph University is pleased to formalize our relationship with Gateway
to provide students with the opportunity to affordably complete their baccalaureate
and graduate degrees with distinguished faculty and excellent learning experiences
within the classroom and beyond in the community, said Mount President Dr. Tony Aretz.
The agreement provides for collaboration on credit transfer between Gateway and the
Mount and involves the design of both 1+3 and 2+2 programs.
Students who haven't decided on a major, who wish to complete general education coursework
before enrolling at the Mount, or those who may have developmental course needs will
benefit from 1+3 agreements. These will allow students to complete a year of work
at Gateway before transferring to the Mount to finish a bachelors degree, said Maggie
Davis, associate vice president of academic support at the Mount.
In a 2+2 program, students would earn an associate degree at Gateway and then transfer
to complete a bachelors degree at the Mount, she added. The agreement also allows
for joint marketing and recruitment efforts by both schools.
Gateway is known for high quality technical education and seamless transfer to Kentucky's public
universities. This new partnership creates an efficient, economical option for students
in Cincinnati's metro area who wish to graduate from a top-ranked liberal arts college.
Completing one or two years at Gateway makes finishing at the Mount much more affordable
while still providing students a high-quality, hands-on learning experience throughout
their academic career, said Mike Rosenberg, Gateway's director of transfer.
