Montcalm Community College (MCC) and Davenport University recently signed an agreement that offers to MCC students, graduating with an associate degree, an opportunity to earn an expedited bachelor’s degree.

With this partnership, MCC students working on their associate degree can easily transfer up to 90 credits toward one of Davenport University’s 40 different bachelor’s programs. The three newly defined articulation pathways allow students to seamlessly transfer their MCC credits to complete degrees in Cyber Defense and Sports Management at Davenport.

“Partnerships like this are critical for our students as many of them do want to transfer after they have attended MCC,” said MCC President Dr. Stacy H. Young.

“Articulation agreements give students a great advantage to acquire needed credentials by offering a seamless process for them as they move through the educational system from one institution to another. It is important to us that students not lose time or credits in the transition, and this agreement will assure that the transfer goes smoothly,” she added.

“This is win for our community. Achieving a college education is truly life changing,” said MCC Vice President for Academic Affairs Rob Spohr. “This articulation agreement covers a variety of programs that are high-wage and high-demand. Students can start at MCC, finish at Davenport and go out and get a really good job making a great wage.”

Davenport University President Dr. Richard J. Pappas agreed.

“This is a fantastic opportunity for students to quickly advance their degrees and increase their earning potential,” Dr. Pappas said. “This partnership is a perfect example of Davenport’s ongoing commitment to support our local community colleges and make it more convenient for students to earn a bachelor’s degree in their chosen field.”
