UMaine, Nova Scotia Community College sign transfer articulation agreement
The University of Maine has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Nova Scotia Community College to create a pathway for undergraduate students to transfer to UMaine to earn a bachelor’s degree.
This is the ninth community college transfer agreement with UMaine and the first MOU in recent years with a Canadian community college. Academically qualified students interested in transferring to UMaine typically complete an admissions application early in the semester prior to the semester they are planning to transfer.
The MOU with Nova Scotia Community College will provide undergraduate transfer admission opportunities for academically qualified students or graduates to pursue a minimum of 30 credit hours. The initial UMaine bachelor’s degree programs expected to be included are in the Maine Business School and College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
This academic year, UMaine enrolled approximately 675 new undergraduate transfer students and offered 25 undergraduate articulation agreements to ease the transfer process.
The Canadian resident tuition rate is the same rate as the low Maine resident tuition rate.
“UMaine is a proud member of the greater Maritime region and is committed to advancing people and economies on both sides of the border,” says Brian Olsen, associate provost for student success and strategic initiatives. “Our graduates use their UMaine experience to support their communities and to open doors to opportunities across the globe.”
