March 20, 2008 Dr. Robert E. Knott, president of Catawba College, will visit Davidson County Community College on Tuesday, March 25 at 1 p.m., where he and Dr. Mary E. Rittling, DCCC president, will sign an articulation agreement.
The agreement will formalize an educational partership that will help DCCC students transfer to Catawba to earn four-year degrees. Graduates of DCCC’s Early Childhood Education degree program can pursue the Bachelor or Arts in Education degree with a major in Birth-Kindergarten education, attending in the evenings while working full-time.
Catawba’s evening program is designed for working adults. Students can complete four courses per semester, taking them in sequence and finishing one course at a time. The program also qualifies them for state tuition assistance because they have full-time student status.
“We are excited about the opportunity the articulation agreement brings for our Early Childhood graduates,” said Judy Zimmerman, Associate Dean, Education and Service Technology for DCCC. “It provides an excellent choice for graduates who need to work while completing their Bachelor’s degree. It is accessible with a relatively short drive to Salisbury, and with the state tuition assistance, the cost is competitive with public institutions even though Catawba is a private college.”
In addition, a “Transfer with Ease” articulation agreement with Catawba College will be formalized to allow graduates of DCCC’s Associate in Arts degree program to transfer credits into several of Catawba’s bachelor degree programs. With this option, Associate of Arts graduates may enter several day programs at Catawba to pursue the Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, and Bachelor of Fine Arts degree programs.
An additional alternative for Associate of Arts students is entry into Catawba’s evening Bachelor of Business Administration program, which includes options for concentrations in Business Management, Information Systems, or Administration of Justice.
