Officials from Texas A&M University-Texarkana and Northeast Texas Community College met on the °®¶¹ÊÓƵ´«Ã½ campus May 25 to sign a new articulation agreement between the two schools. The signing combines the Associate of Applied Science Degree in Medical Assisting from °®¶¹ÊÓƵ´«Ã½ with the Bachelor of Applied Arts and Sciences Degree from A&M-Texarkana. °®¶¹ÊÓƵ´«Ã½ President, Dr. Ron Clinton (right) is pictured formalizing the agreement with A&M-Texarkana President, Dr. Emily Cutrer.
Articulation agreements between the two institutions have existed since 1999, when the original partnership was begun as part of a teacher preparation program. Articulation agreements are formal documents outlining how certain courses or paths of study can be transferred among and accepted between the two institutions to combine and complete a specific degree plan.†While some of the °®¶¹ÊÓƵ´«Ã½ students may take classes at the Texarkana campus, the biggest advantage for °®¶¹ÊÓƵ´«Ã½ students is that most of them can complete their bachelor?s degree program through A&M-Texarkana while still attending classes in Mt. Pleasant.
