Jefferson's School of Business Establishes New Partnership with Montgomery County Community College
Thomas Jefferson University’s School of Business is excited to announce a new partnership that will open up a seamless, convenient pathway for Montgomery County Community College (MCCC) students to continue their education.
Through this enrollment partnership agreement, MCCC students who earn their Business Administration associate degrees can transfer directly into the Jefferson’s School of Business, with junior status in one of five majors: Accounting, Fashion Merchandising & Management, Finance, Management and Marketing.
MCCC students who apply through this partnership may be considered for merit scholarships, based on their academic record at the time of application. Phi Theta Kappa honor society members will receive an additional $2,000 per year.
“We are thrilled to begin a formal partnership with the Montgomery County Community College, and to welcome the school’s students to our East Falls campus,” says Dr. Philip Russel, Jefferson’s School of Business Dean. “I am sure that this opportunity will create exciting pathways for MCCC students to continue their education and succeed in their future professional careers. It will also encourage collaboration among the students at the institutions through shared co-curricular programming.”
Dr. Chae Sweet, MCCC’s Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost, notes, “This partnership is an exciting opportunity for our students to continue their education and pursue their career goals. By creating such pathways, we empower students to confidently take the next step in their academic journeys while minimizing costs.”
