As the 2015 fall semester was coming to a close, new opportunities for Cabrini students were just beginning.
As of December 2015, Cabrini has started its newest partnership with Cecil College, a community college in Northeast Maryland.
Through this partnership, Cecil students now have the opportunity to take Cabrini courses at Cecil College campuses.
By following this two-year program, students will find a different and more convenient way in which they can achieve a bachelor’s degree from Cabrini.
If students decide to follow this partnership, they can earn a Bachelor of Arts in Leadership from Cabrini in areas such as accounting, business, communication, criminal justice, English, entrepreneurship, history, psychology or sociology.
Although this partnership is new, Cabrini is no stranger to partnering with other accredited colleges and universities.
Cabrini already partners with several other accredited colleges in the Philadelphia area, including Delaware County Community College and Community College of Philadelphia.
Through these partnerships, students are able to transfer credits from the college of their choice into Cabrini, depending upon their coursework.
Cabrini does accept the general-education core courses from all associate-degree programs, however students are required to take 3–6 additional credits. These credits must come from Cabrini’s ECG 300 “Engagements with the Common Good” course and three religious studies credits.
Marguerite Weber, vice president of adult and professional programming at Cabrini College, shared that Cabrini is excited to begin its partnership with Cecil College.
She believes that by offering a customized and convenient education for Cecil students, Cabrini will be their likely choice when they are looking to advance their degree.
In addition to the program, Cabrini will also be offering greater pathways for high school and post-bachelorette work.
For those students who have already earned a bachelor’s degree, they will now have the opportunity to earn post-baccalaureate certificates and complete graduate programs.
Enrollment with advanced standing will also be offered to high school students at Oxford High School.
It is clear that Cabrini’s newest partnership will be offering many new options and opportunities for students who are looking to achieve success.
