Soon-to-be Germanna accelerated online College Everywhere graduate Cheryll Mosley of Stafford who will transfer to UMW on 2 1/2 year path to a bachelor’s degree in business.
Germanna Community College and the University of Mary Washington have established a transfer program between Germanna’s College Everywhere program (“College Everywhere”) and University of Mary Washington’s College of Business designed to ensure that eligible students who have matriculated from College Everywhere can easily transition into a Business Administration bachelor’s degree pathway at Mary Washington.
The program is designed to encourage student achievement, increase bachelor’s degree completion rates and improve access and equity by facilitating the transferability of college credits and creating a streamlined transition from an associate degree to a bachelor’s degree.
One of the primary features of the program is the accelerated nature of the College Everywhere program and online Business Administration courses offered by UMW. Students will be able to complete both an associate degree and bachelor’s degree in approximately two and a half years.
