College-bound students will have several new educational opportunities this fall following Marian University’s and Moraine Park Technical College’s recent partnership to offer 11 new academic transfer agreements. Marian and Moraine Park interim presidents Robert Fale and Bonnie Baerwald, respectively, made the agreements official during a March 18 signing ceremony at Marian. The transfer agreements will allow five Moraine Park associate of applied science degree programs to transfer into ten Marian baccalaureate degree programs. “Moraine Park and Marian have been collaborating on projects for many years and this is another partnership that will benefit students interested in attending both institutions,” said Baerwald. “As college tuition continues to rise, allowing students to earn their associate of applied science degree at Moraine Park and then seamlessly transfer those credits into a baccalaureate degree at Marian, will open doors to many students who may have thought a four-year degree was unattainable.” “This agreement between Marian University and Moraine Park allows for greater opportunity for individuals looking to achieve their personal and professional goals through earning a bachelor’s degree,” said Fale. “This agreement demonstrates our combined commitment to the Fond du Lac and surrounding area with quality, affordable pathways for continued success.” The agreements include Moraine Park’s Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse (AODA) Associate of Applied Science Degree program transferring into Marian’s Bachelor of Community Health and Human Service, Bachelor of Psychology, Bachelor of Social Work, and Bachelor of Criminal Justice traditional and adult degrees; Moraine Park’s Associate of Applied Science Degree Radiography program transferring into Marian’s online adult Bachelor of Science in Radiologic Technology; Moraine Park’s Business Management-Marketing Associate of Applied Science Degree program transferring into Marian’s adult Bachelor of Business Administration; Moraine Park’s Business Management-Management/Supervision Associate of Applied Science Degree program transferring into both Marian’s traditional and adult Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and Bachelor of Business Administration degrees, as well as Marian’s adult Bachelor of Business Administration – General Management degree; and Moraine Park’s Associate of Applied Science Degree Nursing program into Marian’s 15-month online adult Bachelor of Science Nursing program.
