Contact: Allison Matthews
STARKVILLE, Miss.鈥敶笙驛PP and William R. Moore College of Technology in Memphis, Tennessee, signed a memorandum of understanding Thursday [Aug. 24] streamlining a pathway for Moore Tech graduates of technical education programs to join MSU鈥檚 Bachelor of Applied Science degree program.
Moore Tech President Skip Redmond joined MSU President Mark E. Keenum for the official signing that facilitates a smooth transfer for students advancing toward baccalaureate degree completion.
MSU will apply 60 credit hours of a Moore Tech Associate of Applied Technology degree directly toward a minimum 120 credit hours required to earn the university鈥檚 Bachelor of Applied Science. Of those 60 transfer hours, 45 may be technical credit.
MSU launched its BAS program in 2019, significantly expanding the university鈥檚 acceptance of technical credit from community colleges and military training. It is intended to serve the needs of adults who have completed a technical associate degree program through a community college or the military and need additional education to advance their careers. The program offers flexible options, with many online courses.
