Park University and Metropolitan Community College have entered into an articulation agreement that will provide MCC graduates a straightforward path to earning a bachelor’s degree at Park. Leaders from each school signed the agreement during a ceremony on Park’s home campus in Parkville on Jan. 24.

With this agreement, students who earn an Associate in Arts degree from MCC will be eligible for guaranteed admission at Park. In addition, the students will enter the University with junior status as Park will accept freshman and sophomore level education credits from MCC, as well as all general education credits, to apply toward earning a bachelor’s degree at Park. Students who transfer from MCC to Park will also be eligible for an annual $1,000 Park University Associate Degree Recognition Scholarship.

“This agreement with Park University demonstrates the commitment by both institutions to create greater educational opportunities for all,” said MCC Chancellor Kimberly Beatty, Ed.D. “Our shared students will benefit greatly from the additional support, resources and affordability provided by this partnership.”
