BATTLE CREEK, MI (WNWN/WTVB) – Kellogg Community College and Davenport University leaders have formed a strategic partnership aimed at facilitating a seamless educational journey for students.
The agreement was signed on Tuesday on KCC’s North Avenue campus in Battle Creek.
It will allow students seeking to transfer from KCC to Davenport to pursue their bachelor’s degree without losing credits or time.
Presidents of both institutions agree that aligning their programs and streamlining the transfer process makes sense for students pursuing degrees in the state.
KCC President Paul R. Watson says, “The partnership with Davenport is a perfect example of Kellogg Community College’s mission to empower students. Aligning our institutions for the easy transfer of credits provides our students with enhanced opportunities for academic and career advancement and reflects our dedication to helping students achieve their education and career goals.”
A news release from K.C.C. said the agreement is designed to maximize credits transferred and to minimize duplication of coursework for students moving from KCC to Davenport. All transfer students will receive a transfer scholarship from Davenport, ranging from $4,500 to $6,500.
Davenport President Richard J. Pappas says, “This collaboration with Kellogg Community College exemplifies our joint commitment to student success and access to a quality education. It’s part of our ongoing support of the state’s community colleges and the students who begin there but need a bachelor’s degree from Davenport to maximize their future opportunities.”
