CMU, NCMC solidify ongoing partnership at signing event

TRENTON, Mo. (News-Press NOW) -- Officials with Central Methodist University and North Central Missouri College signed concurrent enrollment and articulation agreements at an event on May 28.

CMU Provost Dr. Rita Gulstad, NCMC President Dr. Lenny Klaver and several other officials were present at the signing event.

With the resigning of the articulation agreement, school officials formalized efforts to provide a seamless transfer from NCMC to CMU for students.

The signed concurrent enrollment agreement lays out the requirements and benefits provided to students who choose to get academic credit at both institutions at the same time.

“With this agreement, we’re proud and excited to continue strengthening the already special relationship we have with the administration, staff, and students at NCMC,” said Dr. Deborah Degan-Dixon, associate dean of assurance and regions, in a press release. “CMU is committed to enhancing that collaboration across all areas to foster our mutual growth and success.”

These new agreements follow another agreement, CMU's Degree Completion - Education Pathway, meant to help facilitate transfers between CMU and NCMC. The partnership between the two schools is also shown through the Central Career Changers (C3) Apprenticeship program and the mutual sponsorship of the annual Teacher Energizer Workshop.
