SHEPHERDSTOWN, WV — Shepherd University has signed two agreements with Eastern West Virginia Community and Technical College that will make it easier for students from Eastern to come to Shepherd to earn their bachelor’s degree.
Eastern students who earn Associate of Arts in general studies or the Board of Governors Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S.) will be able to transfer to Shepherd to earn their Regents Bachelor of Arts degree. The A.A. general studies degree is geared toward more traditional students, while the Board of Governors A.A.S. and R.B.A. degrees are flexible programs designed for busy adult students who have previously earned credits and/or work experience that can count toward a college degree.
“I’m happy to have this 2+2 partnership with Eastern CTC,” said Beth Thomas, Shepherd R.B.A. coordinator. “The close proximity of Eastern [to Shepherd] makes this a great fit for the Board of Governors and general studies degrees to help Eastern graduates move on to a bachelor’s degree.”
In addition, Eastern students who earn an Associate in Applied Science in business management will be able to transfer to Shepherd’s to earn a Bachelor of Science in business administration.
“We are excited for the opportunity for business students at Eastern to continue their study of business administration at Shepherd University,” said Dr. Kathleen Reid, interim dean, Shepherd College of Business.
