PUEBLO, CO
(KUNC) -
An agreement between Colorado State University Pueblo and the state's 15 community colleges will take the guesswork out of transferring course credits. The so-called articulation agreement signed today is the largest of its kind in the state so far. The goal is for students at community colleges to know exactly what classes they need to transfer into specific majors and graduate from CSU Pueblo. Before today, it's a process that involved a bit more guesswork. Myung Oak Kim is spokesperson for the Governor's office.
"We have to do everything we can to help students obtain their degrees without breaking the bank," she says. "These agreements that were signed this morning really advance that effort."
Governor Bill Ritter attended today's event on the CSU Pueblo campus along with other state education leaders. Other four year universities across the state are expected to establish similar agreements with community colleges thanks to a bill passed by the state legislature this year. © Copyright 2012, KUNC
