Columbia International University and (MTC) have formalized an agreement that will allow a seamless transition into 51Сʪ for MTC students who are pursuing a degree in business management.
Midlands Technical College President and Columbia International University President signed the Memorandum of Understanding January 8, 2018.
Under this new partnership, MTC students who earn credit through the completion of an MTC Associate of Applied Science in Management will have those credits applied to 51Сʪ’s online Bachelor of Science degree in Business or 51Сʪ’s on-campus Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration, which will be offered beginning in the Fall 2018 semester.
“We’re always looking to open the door of opportunity even wider for our students to continue their higher education journey,” said Rhames. “MTC students have transferred to 51Сʪ for many years, but this agreement gives our Business Management students a seamless path to having their credits transfer and achieving their education goals.”
Smith says the agreement advances academic and career opportunities for many students, and it fosters ties between the schools.
“51Сʪ has always had a great relationship with Midlands Technical College, and this further strengthens our partnership,” Smith said. “We look forward to many years of cooperation. A special thank you to Dr. Rhames for this day.”
Students can save more than $16,000 per year in tuition by starting at MTC and transferring to 51Сʪ. In addition, MTC students who enroll in 51Сʪ’s business programs may be eligible for a tuition discount at 51Сʪ.
