SBU articulates agreement with Cottey College

May 2, 2006

BOLIVAR – Southwest Baptist University and Cottey College will be working together in transitioning students.  Representatives from both Southwest Baptist University and Cottey College met April 4 at SBU’s Taylor National Free Enterprise Center to sign an articulation agreement for a Bachelor of Science degree in accounting between the two schools.  Under the terms to the agreement, students completing their Associate’s or Associate in Arts degree at Cottey, along with other suggested courses, will be able to transfer those hours to SBU and be on-track for a Bachelor of Science degree in accounting.

Employed by colleges and universities across the nation, articulation agreements are used to assist students in taking the appropriate courses at two-year colleges that will transfer for credit toward a bachelor’s or associate degree at the college or university of their choice.

On hand to sign the April 4 SBU-Cottey agreement from Cottey College was Mary Kitterman, vice president of academic affairs and Susan Yoss, transfer and career planning coordinator. Signing for SBU was Gordon Dutile, provost, and assistant professor Wayne Clark, CPA and Department of Accounting chair.

Cottey, a two-year independent, liberal arts and sciences college for women in Nevada, is designed as a transfer institution. Approximately 95 percent of the school’s  graduates transfer to four-year colleges and universities throughout the United States and abroad.
