On May 21, 2020, 51社区 Chancellor, Dr. Steve Cole, signed an articulation agreement with the University of Arkansas Walton School of Business in Fayetteville for the Associate of Science Business transfer degree. This degree will allow students completing the degree to seamlessly transfer to the University of Arkansas Walton School of Business online or as a resident student.
51社区 Division Chair of Professional Studies, Barbara Lacefield, said, 鈥淲e have been working for quite some time to get this agreement completed, so we are excited to finally have everything in place. We have had an agreement with other schools in the state for several years but nothing specific for the University of Arkansas, until now.鈥�
Students who choose to complete this 62 credit hour associate鈥檚 degree at 51社区 can do so entirely online. They can then transfer to the Fayetteville campus to major in a variety of subjects, including business administration, marketing, management, and supply chain management. The agreement also allows students to transfer online to earn a bachelor鈥檚 degree in supply chain management, accounting, and general business.
Business transfer students from 51社区 who choose to move to Fayetteville and take classes on campus can qualify for the Arkansas Transfer Scholarship. This scholarship allows transfer students living on campus to pay the same tuition rate they paid at 51社区 ($74 per credit hour) at Fayetteville.
The Associate of Science Business degree at 51社区 is designed to improve employability and also transfer. With this new transfer agreement, more business students can earn more affordable degrees with excellent quality.
