SAU President Dr. David Rankin signs a Memorandum of Understanding with Cossatot Community College-UA. The Memorandum lays out the details for an Agri-Business program that will enable students in southwest Arkansas to take freshman and sophomore level courses at De Queen before completing a bachelor\u2019s degree at Magnolia.<\/p><\/div>\n

MAGNOLIA \u2013 Southern Arkansas University and Cossatot Community College of the University of Arkansas have formalized a Memorandum of Understanding that will put in place the required faculty and curriculum to allow CCCUA students to pursue a Bachelor of Science in Agri-Business at the De Queen campus.<\/p>\n

SAU will offer three classes on the De Queen campus to provide for the seamless transfer of CCCUA students into the Agricultural-Business course of study offered at SAU upon completion of an associate\u2019s degree from CCCUA. The classes are: Crops with lab, Principles of Agricultural Economics, and Elements of Forestry with lab. Other agricultural courses required for the Agricultural-Business program will be offered at De Queen as they become practical. The business courses required for this degree are currently offered online through SAU in Magnolia.<\/p>\n

Admission requirements for this program are the same as the Agriculture program on the SAU campus. Fifty-three hours of credit, in addition to the associate\u2019s degree, will be required for graduation.<\/p>\n

Freshman- and sophomore-level courses applicable to the SAU Agri-Business Degree will be applicable to the associate\u2019s degree students at CCCUA. Admission and registration will be completed on the CCCUA campus.<\/p>\n

CCCUA Chancellor-Elect Steve Cole said, \u201cThe program may utilize distance technology as well as face-to-face instruction. Support is available both locally and through distance technology from the ITS support faculty and staff on the SAU campus.\u201d<\/p>\n

Students and faculty working in the CCCUA\/SAU program have access to all of the SAU campus library resources. Access to SAU library resources is summarized and facilitated through the SAU Library\u2019s distance learning Web pages.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
