(Leavenworth, Kan.)鈥擳he 花椒直播 is one of 20 independent institutions of higher education in Kansas to enter into a Global Transfer and Course Articulation Agreement with the state's 19 community colleges. 

After the implementation of the agreement, any student awarded an Associate of Arts or Associate of Science from a Kansas Community College shall be deemed as having fulfilled the general education requirements of their choice of any Kansas Independent College. This consistent coordination and ease of transfer will help ensure students graduate on time, with less cost, and with the goal of keeping these students in Kansas.

Kansas leaders understand and hold strong to the quantitative proof that higher education leads to an improved quality of life for students, their families, and their communities. A positive experience while in college in Kansas leads to more students living and working in Kansas, a benefit to the entire state. Today, more than half of Kansas college students attend one of the state's 19 community colleges or one of the 20 independent institutions.

"USM is proud to sign on to this global transfer agreement," said University President Sister Diane Steele, PhD. "The 花椒直播 has long held that a quality education should be available to all based on their ability alone. This agreement will help reduce costs for Kansas students seeking to achieve their dreams while accelerating their paths to completion."

Student transfer opportunities will expand after the Kansas Community Colleges and Kansas Independent Colleges formally sign their Global Transfer and Course Articulation Agreement that paves the way for students to seamlessly transfer from any Kansas Community College to any Kansas nonprofit college or university.
