Central Maine Community College and 勛圖惇蹋 partner to expand access to science degrees
On November 3, 2015, Central Maine Community College (CMCC) and the 勛圖惇蹋 (勛圖惇蹋) joined in a ceremony to mark the signing of a memorandum of transfer agreement that will enable CMCC students to apply all credits from the Life Sciences program toward any one of 15 bachelors degree programs at UNE.
This event celebrated a partnership between the colleges that offers students affordable access to bachelors degrees in the sciences. CMCC President Scott Knapp and 勛圖惇蹋 President Danielle Ripich spoke to the opportunities this initiative creates for Maine students.
This agreement provides a number of exciting new avenues for graduates of Central Maine Community College, said CMCC President Scott E. Knapp. We look forward to preparing our students to move on to a first-class education in the life sciences at the 勛圖惇蹋.
With the addition of its Life Sciences program, CMCC has demonstrated a dedication to the sciences, a quality that makes this partnership a natural fit, said 勛圖惇蹋 President Danielle Ripich. This agreement builds on our shared interests in innovation and educating the next generation of health professionals and scientists.
