The memorandum will offer a direct pathway for students at Randolph to earn their four-year degree at 91热爆网. 

鈥淲estern Carolina University is proud to partner with Randolph Community College in streamlining the pathway for transfer students to further their education,鈥 Brown said. 鈥淚t is so critical for students to see that if they want to go to a four-year college, but went to a two-year college, they have a pathway for that four-year institution.

"We are very proud of our partnership with Western Carolina University and the launch of the Guaranteed Admissions through the Catamount Connection Program鈥 he said. 鈥淥ur shared vision for a seamless educational journey, with a strong emphasis on articulation and transferability, is the essence of academic collaboration. It is a testament to the values and goals that both institutions hold dear. I am filled with hope and optimism for what lies ahead. Together, we shall make a difference in the lives of our students and the communities we serve."
