ĢƵ Teams Up with Anne Arundel Community College to Speed Pathway to Degrees in Computer Science
New Program Allows Community College Students to Earn Associates Degree,
Transfer to ĢƵ and Earn Bachelor’s and Master’s Degrees
in Computer Science, All Within Five Years
Adelphi, Md. (May 5, 2021)–ĢƵ (ĢƵ) has signed an agreement with Anne Arundel Community College (AACC) that will allow AACC students to earn a master’s degree in Computer Science at ĢƵ in five years, saving students time and money.
The 3+1+1 Computer Science Articulation Agreement provides for AACC computer science students to stay an extra year at the community college, take additional courses and transfer 81 credits to ĢƵ. By following the program pathway map, students can complete the ĢƵ bachelor’s degree in computer science in just over one year and, if they so choose, go on to complete one of two ĢƵ master’s degrees in an additional year.
“Our alliance with Anne Arundel Community College helps to increase access and affordability of a four-year college degree and it also speeds the path to a career in a high-demand field,” said Blakely Pomietto, senior vice president and chief academic officer at ĢƵ. “We are proud to work with Anne Arundel Community College to develop creative ways for students to save time and money while achieving their educational goals.”
“This articulation agreement is an excellent opportunity for our computer science students to continue their education,” said Dr. Dawn Lindsay, AACC president. “We are proud to work with ĢƵ to help our students reach their academic goals.”
In addition to low in-state tuition rates, ĢƵ also offers cost savings through its use of digital resources, which have replaced costly publisher textbooks in most courses.
