KCTCS and University of the Cumberlands partner on MOA for bachelor degree pathways

University of the Cumberlands (UC) and the Kentucky Community and Technical College System (KCTCS) are separate entities with a common vision: making higher education more accessible for students. With that in mind, Cumberlands and KCTCS are joining to commemorate the signing of a memorandum of agreement that offers a clear pathway for KCTCS graduates to complete an affordable bachelor’s degree at UC.

The MOA communicates that UC continues to strive to improve the application, advising and transfer credit evaluation process for seamless transfer of students from KCTCS. It also serves as a steppingstone for KCTCS and UC in their mission to offer quality education to Kentucky students from all backgrounds. Both institutions have made strides to ensure affordability, accessibility and relevancy for their programs in recent years.

 A special event will be held with administrative officials and students from both institutions to commemorate the implementation of this agreement.
