MTSU AND NSCC JOIN FORCES TO OPEN DOORS TO MORE SCHOLARS
New Accord to be Examined in Full on “MTSU On the Record” this Sunday
(MURFREESBORO) –Michelle Blackwell, director of Transfer Student Services, will talk about the new agreement between MTSU and Nashville State Community College at 7 a.m. on “MTSU on the Record” with host Gina Logue at 7 a.m. this Sunday, July 26, on WMOT-FM (89.5 and wmot.org).
The dual-admission pact, which is slated to be signed on Wednesday, July 29, at MTSU, is designed to make it easier for transfer students from NSCC to obtain admission to a four-year institution. After meeting certain requirements, NSCC students will be guaranteed acceptance to MTSU, and at the outset, they will be able to map out their college career paths. Students will save money by being able to enroll in a community college their first two years at lower tuition and fees.
