St Mary’s, BVC partner to open new pathway for BVC graduates

St Mary’s University and Bow Valley College have signed a five-year Memorandum of Agreement to create a pathway to a degree for BVC graduates. Starting in July, eligible graduates of BVC’s Early Childhood Education and Development Diploma program can transfer directly into a Bachelor of Arts in General Studies at St Mary’s, receiving credit for half the degree’s requirements. Eligible students will be guaranteed admission to the program, while both institutions will collaborate to provide them with comprehensive support. “By creating seamless pathways to further education, we are not only empowering students to achieve their academic goals, but we are also expanding career opportunities for our graduates,” said BVC VP Academic Michael Crowe.
