Troy University and Andrew College (AC) held a historic articulation agreement signing on Wednesday, December 12, 2018 on the Andrew College campus.

The goal of the collaboration is to provide associate degree graduates of Andrew College an opportunity to enroll at Troy University and earn their bachelor’s degree.

“We greatly value this partnership with such a fine institution and look forward to our students studying and completing a bachelor’s degree at Troy University,” said Andrew College President Linda R. Buchanan.

The articulation agreement becomes effective immediately and will provide transfer opportunities for Andrew College spring 2019 graduates to enroll at Troy University during the fall 2019 semester.

“Troy University is delighted to partner with Andrew College,” said Keith Gaines, Albany area coordinator for TROY Online’s Southeast District. “For years we have worked with community colleges and others to ensure a smooth transition for associate degree graduates who strive to complete their bachelor’s degree, and we look forward to working with Andrew College students in meeting their educational goals.”

AC graduates who meet the appropriate admissions requirements to attend Troy University, will be ensured that all courses in the agreement earned at AC will transfer. A minimum grade of “C” or
above in certain core courses and any other courses designed by specific majors will be required in accordance with standard program requirements.

Instrumental in establishing this partnership is Bianca Knowles, a recruiter in Troy University's Albany Area Support Center and a native of Cuthbert. “This was a labor of love and dedication for me," she said. “TROY can provide further educational opportunities to a community that is on the cusp of revitalization. Plus, this is my hometown and I wanted to share the wonderful benefits of furthering one's education through Troy University.”
