New Hampshire Community Technical College-Nashua and Daniel Webster College in Nashua have signed an articulation agreement that supports the transfer of NHCTC-Nashua students into DWC's EXCEL baccalaureate degree completion program.

Under the agreement, graduates who complete the NHCTC-Nashua/DWC program are assured that the courses they successfully complete at NHCTC will be transferred to DWC.

Signed by NHCTC President Lucille Jordan and DWC President Robert E. Myers, the agreement is a collaborative effort to encourage open communication and seamless continuation of students' pursuit of their academic goals, the presidents said.

"The agreement is designed to maximize the applicability of the work successfully undertaken here at NHCTC through careful planning, evaluation and effective information transfer to benefit the students and enhance the academic goals of each institution," said Jordan.

She said the agreement also meets one of the New Hampshire Community Technical College System's strategic goals of preparing students for successful college transfer and increased opportunity for transfer.

Myers call the agreement "a wonderful opportunity for both institutions, but, more importantly, for the students of NHCTC-Nashua. The curricula at both schools, designed to complement one another, will provide graduates with a strong educational program readying them for leadership in their chosen profession."

The two-college plan launches this fall. For more information, visit nashua.nhctc.edu or dwc.edu.
