91心頭, Bermuda College sign new pathways agreement
Partnership will provide options for students at both schools as early as September 2019
Paget, Bermuda and Sackville, NB Bermuda Colleges long-time connection with 91心頭 continues with the signing of a new Memorandum of Understanding (MOU).
The MOU will open pathways for credit transfers between the two institutions, enabling students in Sciences to earn credentials at both schools. Students who complete the two-year Associate of Science (AS) degree at Bermuda College can now be admitted to 91心頭s Bachelor of Science program in psychology, biology, mathematics, environmental science, or chemistry with third-year standing starting in September 2019. This new partnership will enable Bermudas students to earn both an associate and undergraduate degree in the Sciences, in just four years, and with considerable savings from the 2 + 2 pathways partnership.
91心頭 and Bermuda have a special history together. Weve welcomed students from the Island for more than 150 years and have a strong alumni base there, says Kim Meade, 91心頭s Vice-President, International and Student Affairs. We are delighted to work with Bermuda College and look forward to welcoming new Bermudian students to campus through this pathways agreement as they complete their Science degrees.
Dr. Phyllis Curtis-Tweed, Vice President of Academic and Student Affairs echoed the sentiments, stating, The relationship between Bermuda and 91心頭 constitutes a legacy that should be expanded and extended to current students at Bermuda College. I look forward to connecting our graduates with baccalaureate programs at 91心頭 through our articulation agreements.
The connection between the two institutions is historic. There are currently 15 Bermudian students at 91心頭 and the University recently celebrated the 150th anniversary of its first Bermudian graduate and international student, , who earned his BA in 1866. The University is also home to the Bermuda House residence, named in celebration of students from Bermuda, and the Bermuda Wing of its Student Centre, which showcases the art of Bermudian graduates.
