The chancellors at Arkansas State University and University of Arkansas Community College in Batesville on Wednesday signed official articulation agreements for 22 academic programs.
“Our students have sacrificed both time and money for their courses, and these agreements give them the confidence of knowing that they have not wasted either one as they get ready to transition to a four-year institution,” UACCB Chancellor Deborah Frazier said in a news release. “Over the years, we have had many UACCB graduates attend Arkansas State, and we know this will ensure they have a broad range of choices when choosing the next level of education.”
A-State Chancellor Kelly Damphousse said UACCB graduates represent one of the university’s largest groups of transfers.
“We want to strengthen our ties and make it easier for future UA Batesville graduates to complete their four-year degrees with us,” he said. “I hope the graduates of UACCB know they are welcome in Jonesboro.”
The A-State degree programs signing articulation agreements with UACCB include accounting, agriculture, business administration, business economics, business technology, communication studies, computer and information technology, criminology, computer science, chemistry, disaster preparedness and emergency management, economics, English, global supply chain management, history, international business, management, organizational supervision, political science, psychology, sociology and strategic communication.
The signing ceremony held at UACCB’s Independence Hall is the latest in A-State’s campaign to improve transfer relationships with regional two-year institutions. Damphousse said he has signed more than 300 individual degree articulation agreements this year and plans on adding more to that count each month.
