Alamance Community College announced an exciting opportunity for students to further their education.
Algie Gatewood, President of Alamance Community College, and Ben Coulter, Chancellor of WGU North Carolina, signed a partnership agreement linking the two institutions of higher learning at the North Carolina Community College System Conference in Raleigh on October 9, according to a press release from ACC.
“We are proud to collaborate with WGU North Carolina to offer the students of Alamance Community College even more opportunities for growth and learning,” said Gatewood.
Founded in 1997, WGU is a fully accredited, nonprofit online university offering more than 60 bachelor’s and master’s degree programs in healthcare, IT, business, and K-12 education.
The partnership will give ACC students new opportunities to pursue higher education.
ACC graduates will be able to receive credit for their completed coursework and transfer to WGU to pursue bachelor’s degrees, according to a press release from ACC.
“WGU North Carolina removes the barriers of higher education by making education accessible with an online format and a flexible learning model to meet our students right where they are," Gatewood said.
ACC graduates, staff, and faculty will also be able to apply for WGU Community College Partner Scholarships valued at $2,500 each, according to a press release from ACC.
WGU North Carolina officially launched as an affiliate in October 2017 through a partnership between North Carolina and Western Governors University, according to a press release from ACC.
