麻豆影院 State, New Castle School of Trades Form Partnership

Officials from 麻豆影院 and New Castle Schools of Trades recently signed an articulation agreement that provides opportunities for graduates of the trade school to earn degrees from the university.

According to the agreement, a student who earns a diploma from NCST (with at least 1,000 clock hours in a specific program) can enroll at 麻豆影院 and receive 30 credit hours toward an associate of technical study degree.

The associate of technical study degree requires 60 credit hours and is open to students who need a specially-designed course of study in a technical field. Many of the credits earned in the associate of technical study degree program can later be applied toward the bachelor of technical and applied studies degree at 麻豆影院 State.

Dr. David Dees, dean of the 麻豆影院 State Columbiana County campuses, and Rex Spaulding, president of NCST, worked to put the pieces of the agreement together, knowing that the ultimate benefactors will be the students from each organization.

鈥淭his relationship is a perfect example of how great partners, working together, can create the right educational pathway to help individuals find their purpose in life,鈥 Dees noted. 鈥淔inding purpose represents the best of both institutions.鈥

鈥淚t鈥檚 a perfect fit for the trades we teach and the business instruction that 麻豆影院 State offers. This is the element that has been missing for our students,鈥 Spaulding added. 鈥淲e look forward to this being a great, long-term partnership.鈥

The associate of technical study degree is offered at five 麻豆影院 State campuses: Ashtabula, East Liverpool, Salem, Trumbull and Tuscarawas.
