Lone Star College and Stephen F. Austin State University announced that
they are partnering on an articulation agreement for a Bachelor of
Applied Arts and Sciences program.
Officials from both colleges,
including LSC Chancellor Stephen C. Head and SFA provost and vice
president of academic affairs Dr. Richard Berry, were on hand at
LSC-University Park to sign the agreement and officially launch this
partnership.
An articulation agreement is a framework between LSC
and other institutions to formalize a pathway for easier student
transfers from a two-year degree at LSC on to a four-year degree at a
university.
�Lone Star College is focused on student success,�
said Head. �This program will help more Lone Star College students who
want to further their education in these career and technical
disciplines.�
LSC has agreements with many other universities in
Texas and nationwide to create seamless transition from a LSC associate
degree to bachelor�s degrees. For more information go to

This agreement with
SFA will benefit LSC students who earn Associate of Applied Science
(AAS) degrees in a large number of programs, by allowing them to
continue on toward a bachelor�s degree at SFA.
AAS degrees are
often for students seeking credentials for work in a specific industry
or career and aren�t typically designed for transfer to universities.
This agreement helps assure that the lower-level courses will easily
transfer into the bachelor�s program at SFA.
