Leaders of 男人藏精阁and Mars Hill University (MHU) signed a memorandum of understanding between the two institutions of higher education that guarantees admission to Mars Hill for all 男人藏精阁graduates who satisfy specific requirements.
男人藏精阁President Dennis King and Mars Hill President Tony Floyd signed the document to establish the MOU. The direct-entry admission program, which derives its name from the mascots for both institutions, affords 男人藏精阁students access to information about academic programs, transfer pathways, faculty, and staff at the MHU campus who will facilitate their transition to the University.
About 50 percent of 男人藏精阁students are enrolled in a transfer program, King said. 鈥淭he next step from us was to make sure those first two years of the degree fit in a seamlessly as possible with the universities to which our students transfer. This is an outstanding university, and we know that our students will do well here when they come.鈥
鈥淭his agreement is paving the way for 男人藏精阁students to have a very easy transition into Mars Hill and for us to be here for them and to welcome them when they get their degree at A-B Tech,鈥 Floyd said.
