Students attending Northeast State Community College<\/a> will have a seamless transition to Tusculum University<\/a> after receipt of an associate\u2019s degree through a new agreement reached between the two higher education institutions.<\/p>\n

Leaders from Tusculum and Northeast State conducted a news conference Monday, Oct. 22, on the Northeast State campus to discuss the new dual admission program. The initiative, which is effective immediately, will provide another path for students to receive their undergraduate degree and save them and their families money.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe value of earning an undergraduate degree cannot be overstated because of the long-term impact it has on a person\u2019s career and earning potential,\u201d said Dr. James Hurley, Tusculum\u2019s president. \u201cAs first-generation college graduates, some of my cabinet members and I have seen firsthand how this experience has changed our lives. This partnership between Tusculum and Northeast State is an excellent way for our two academic institutions to help those students achieve that ultimate goal.\u201d<\/p>\n

Students who participate in this program first enroll at Northeast State and earn an associate of arts degree, an associate of science degree or an associate of science and teaching degree. They then enroll at Tusculum to complete their bachelor\u2019s degree.<\/p>\n

Northeast State students who fulfill the requirements of the dual enrollment program are guaranteed acceptance to Tusculum. However, some majors might carry additional application and program admission requirements.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are appreciative of this partnership with Tusculum University that provides a smooth path for Northeast State students to achieve a bachelor\u2019s degree,\u201d said Northeast State President James D. King. \u201cThis dual admission program is an excellent opportunity for our students to further their educational goals.\u201d<\/p>\n

To be eligible for the dual admission program, students must plan to pursue an associate\u2019s degree and a bachelor\u2019s degree and meet Northeast State\u2019s current admission requirements. Those who are already enrolled at Northeast State can still apply for the program as long they have no more than 29 credit hours and meet threshold grade point average requirements.<\/p>\n

Students who do not enroll for classes at Northeast State for more than a year have to reapply to the dual admission program. Anyone who does not complete all prerequisites for a degree at Tusculum while they attend Northeast State will have to take those courses at the university.<\/p>\n

Celebrating the agreement\u2019s signing are, left to right, Dr. Paul Pinckley, Tusculum\u2019s vice president for enrollment management and financial aid; Dr. Sam Rowell, Northeast State\u2019s vice president for academic affairs; Northeast State President James D. King; Dr. James Hurley, Tusculum\u2019s president; and Dr. Madison Sowell, Tusculum\u2019s vice president of academic affairs and provost.<\/p><\/div>\n

Northeast State will refer students to appropriate Tusculum campus contacts during their first semester enrolled in the program. Students will work jointly with contacts at both higher education institutions to determine the best course selection.<\/p>\n

Tusculum officials said the dual enrollment agreement will be a good fit for the university because it gives them plenty of time to prepare for a student\u2019s arrival and have the necessary academic and social structure in place to serve them. Representatives of the two institutions also said they would be able to collaborate on recruitment efforts with high school students.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a win-win-win scenario because it not only benefits our institutions but also the students who are pursuing a degree,\u201d said Dr. Paul Pinckley, Tusculum\u2019s vice president of enrollment management and financial aid. \u201cThis agreement presents an organized method for everyone to plan a student\u2019s academic path well in advance so students better understand the framework of their academic career. We\u2019re excited about working with an excellent institution in Northeast State and will welcome these students with open arms on our campus.\u201d<\/p>\n
