The Austin Community College District (ACC) is pleased to announce a new partnership with Texas Lutheran University (TLU) in Seguin.<\/p>\n
Presidents Dr. Richard Rhodes and Dr. Stuart Dorsey signed an articulation agreement Monday afternoon, August 21, which will provide a seamless transition to eligible students from ACC to TLU upon fulfilling their first two years at ACC.<\/p>\n
\u201cMore than half of students enrolled at ACC have the intention of earning credits that will transfer,\u201d says Dr. Rhodes, ACC President\/CEO. \u201cWe believe making it easier for them to transfer to a four-year university without losing the credits they worked hard to acquire is important to the completion of their baccalaureate degrees.\u201d<\/p>\n
TLU Theology student Billy Wayne Roy benefited from four semesters at ACC to get the tools needed to excel in his studies.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt ACC I was able to complete my basic education requirements and TLU provided an energetic learning environment where I could further explore my field of interest,\u201d Roy says.<\/p>\n
TLU is committed to helping students continue on their college path, particularly in Liberal Arts, Sciences and Professional Studies in a diverse atmosphere.<\/p>\n
\u201cTLU is very excited about our new agreement with ACC and believe it represents the best in public-private, two-year\/four-year partnerships,\u201d says Dr. Debbie Cottrell, TLU vice president of academic affairs. \u201cThe potential is very strong for this working relationship to broaden our opportunities with Austin-area students, and we look forward to seeing those students become part of the TLU community.\u201d<\/p>\n
ACC has articulation agreements with 58 universities, including The University of Texas, Texas State University and Texas A&M University.<\/p>\n
