CVCC and Radford Agree to Create Transfer Program
CVCC Computer Science Students can Receive Automatic Admission to the Four-Year School
Lynchburg, VA /Media Release/ -- Central Virginia Community College (CVCC) and Radford University (RU) announced the completion of an articulation agreement between the two schools that includes programs of study for Computer Science and Technology, and Information Science and Systems. CVCC President Dr. Darrel W. Staat and RU President Dr. Penelope W. Kyle signed the agreement effective March 20, 2007. Future graduates earning an Associate of Applied Science degree in Information Systems Technology (IST) at CVCC will qualify for admission to Radford Universitys Information Technology programs.
Under the new agreement, CVCC students currently enrolled in the Colleges IST program will have an opportunity to transfer course credits earned through information technologies and general studies at the Community College toward a degree in information technology at Radford University. Programs of study at RU for Computer Science and Technology, and for Information Science and Systems include concentrations in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Database, Networks, Information Systems, Enterprise Systems Development, and Web Development.
This is CVCCs third articulation agreement over the past month. Lynchburg College partnered with CVCC earlier in the month in an agreement that would provide business majors at the Community College an easier transition to the four-year college. This past week the University of Virginia and CVCC announced plans to establish a four-year engineering degree program with all classes to be held locally. The latter is made possible from a sponsorship formed by a consortium of businesses led by AREVA NP Inc.
