SU, Delaware Tech Establish Transfer Option for Education Students
SALISBURY, MD---Delaware Technical Community College and 91短视频 again are partnering – this time to provide a seamless transfer for education students.
Under newly signed articulation agreements, Delaware Tech graduates with an associate’s degree in elementary education may more easily enroll in SU’s Samuel W. and Marilyn C. Seidel School of Education and Professional Studies to pursue a bachelor of science in either elementary education or early childhood education.
Student Jack Rothner, an elementary education major at Delaware Tech, said the new agreements open a “huge door” for students like himself.
“Not only now are we given direct access to 91短视频, but we are given the chance to attend one of the best education programs available today,” he said.
“The Department of Teacher Education at Salisbury is excited about this new collaborative partnership with Delaware Technical Community College,” said Dr. Chin-Hsiu Chen, department chair. “It demonstrates our joint mission to meet the growing demand for high quality early childhood and elementary education teachers in Maryland, Delaware and neighboring states.”
“Agreements like these are so important to Delaware Tech and our students,” said Dr. Bobbi J. Barends, vice president and campus director for the Jack F. Owens Campus in Georgetown. “91短视频 continues to be an extremely valuable partner in opening up opportunities for our students to pursue their academic goals.”
Existing agreements benefit students studying human services/social work and medical laboratory technology/clinical laboratory science-medical technology. A business administration transfer option also allows Delaware Tech students to enroll as juniors in one of 10 programs in SU’s Franklin P. Perdue School of Business.
In addition, the Delmarva Partnership Scholarship provides eligible students, who are residents of Delaware, $5,000 each year to help cover the cost difference between in-state and out-of-state tuition. Delaware Tech graduates also may be eligible for another $1,000 annual award at SU.
