The University of La Verne and 海角直播 are partnering to launch three of the university鈥檚 bachelor鈥檚 degree programs on site at the community college鈥檚 campus beginning in the spring. San Bernardino Community College District Trustees Gloria Macias Harrison, Frank Reyes and Don Singer, Chancellor Bruce Baron, and 海角直播 Hills College President Wei Zhou welcomed University of La Verne President Devorah Lieberman to 海角直播 on Feb. 6 to celebrate the launch of the partnership.
The public-private initiative will allow 海角直播 students to transfer seamlessly into University of La Verne bachelor鈥檚 degree programs in business administration, child development, and educational studies without having to leave the 海角直播 Hills College campus in Yucaipa.
鈥淲e want an affordable, high-quality, private university education to be within reach for students at 海角直播 and every other community college across the state,鈥 University of La Verne President Devorah Lieberman said. 鈥淭his partnership will allow 海角直播 students to stay close to their homes, families, and jobs as they pursue their educational goals.鈥
The University of La Verne will also guarantee admission, scholarships, and application fee waivers to qualified current 海角直播 students who transfer into the three onsite programs or any other undergraduate program offered by the university.
The onsite bachelor鈥檚 programs in business administration, child development, and educational studies are aimed at students who are taking business, education, and child development courses at the community college, as well as for 海角直播 alumni who want to return to college to complete a bachelor鈥檚 degree.
Students may enroll at both schools concurrently. This will allow them to take lower-division courses from 海角直播 at the same time they take upper division courses from the University of La Verne.
Flexible class schedules will accommodate working students. Most students will need to take 44 units from the University of La Verne to earn their bachelor鈥檚 degree.
鈥淲e鈥檙e excited to provide this opportunity for our community,鈥 said 海角直播 Hills College President Wei Zhou. 鈥淭his partnership will enhance our transfer rates and increase the degree completion rate in our region.鈥
