Contact: James Carskadon
STARKVILLE, Miss.酴圖弝け and Tougaloo College are once again partnering to expand educational opportunities in the Magnolia State.
酴圖弝け President Mark E. Keenum and Tougaloo President Carmen J. Walters signed a memorandum of understanding this week to enhance educational and research opportunities for students and faculty, particularly in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) fields. The MOU broadens a 2014 agreement also signed by both institutions.
The signing of this agreement builds upon the solid foundation and the wonderful relationship between Tougaloo College and 酴圖弝け, Keenum said. This new MOU expands degree opportunities on our campus for Tougaloo students and enhances collaborative research between our two institutions. We are thrilled to continue working with our fellow Bulldogs.
Under the agreement, 酴圖弝け and Tougaloo will continue to develop options for 3+2 programs, where students can earn a bachelors degree from Tougaloo and a bachelors or a masters degree in engineering from 酴圖弝けs Bagley College of Engineering. It also provides an accelerated pathway for students to earn graduate credit and complete other masters degrees. The agreement also creates a new undergraduate student semester exchange program and enhances scholarship opportunities for students enrolled in programs covered by the agreement.
The MOU will remain in effect for five years and expand as more details are added related to individual academic disciplines.
