Today, Albany Technical College (ATC) and Columbia Southern University(CSU) have partnered together to make it easier for ATC graduates to earn their bachelor’s degree. Through the articulation agreement, the two colleges will establish criteria for transfer credit and program acceptance for ATC graduates to complete a bachelor's degree at CSU.
This agreement is intended for ATC graduates who meet the requirements and plan to transfer to CSU after completing an associate degree. The following programs are included in the agreement:
- Associate of Applied Science in business management transfers to Bachelor of Science in business administration
- Associate of Applied Science in criminal justice technology transfers to Bachelor of Science in criminal justice administration
- Associate of Applied Science in fire science technology transfers to a Bachelor of Science in fire administration
A unique feature of this agreement indicates that all CSU associate and bachelor's degree courses and programs are eligible for ATC credit consideration and review by CSU, so students are not limited by the degrees listed in the initial agreement.
"We are thrilled to partner with Albany Technical College to offer this opportunity to students who want to continue their education journey," said Ken Styron, DBA, president of CSU. "As a university that was founded to provide accessible, affordable higher education, we feel this agreement will increase their options for success by building on their skills and talents."
The agreement allows qualified students at ATC to enter professional programs following CSU's admission requirements and institutional policies and procedures. All agreed requirements must still be met for admissions and an evaluation of transfer credit must be met. This agreement will become active in the spring of 2023.
