news-category: Transfer Pathways ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï and Cleveland Community College Sign Transfer Agreement for Exercise Science By Office of University Communications On May 5, 2022 Program Simplifies Process for CCC Students to Complete Bachelor’s Degree at GWU BOILING SPRINGS, N.C.—Officials at ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï and Cleveland Community College (CCC) in Shelby, N.C., recently signed an agreement to establish a transfer admission promise program for CCC students who want to pursue a bachelor’s degree in exercise science in the Traditional Undergraduate Program at ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï. Students who receive an Associate in Applied Science (AAS) degree in health and fitness science at CCC will be able to transfer seamlessly to ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï. Dr. William Downs “Any day that we find a new and constructive way to partner with our neighbors at Cleveland Community College is a good day for ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï,â€� affirmed GWU President Dr. William Downs. “Given the growing demand for graduates with expertise in exercise science, health and fitness, this transfer agreement between our two institutions should be attractive to students and should help fill an important societal need.â€� Students interested in the program must meet admission requirements at CCC and ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï. The Bachelor of Science in exercise science at ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï will prepare students for graduate studies in physical and occupational therapy, and Physician Assistant programs. The degree is also for students who want to go into the strength and conditioning field, mostly in college athletics, but anywhere in the fitness industry. Additionally, ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï offers a dual enrollment, where students can obtain their master’s degree in strength and conditioning one year after completing the bachelor’s degree. “With the addition of the Associate in Applied Science in Health and Fitness Science at Cleveland Community College, it is important that we set up agreements and pathways like this one with ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï,” said CCC President Dr. Jason Hurst. “We believe in helping our students reach their full potential and be successful, whatever success looks like for them. Partners like ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï help us fulfill that mission.â€� Dr. Jason Hurst For students outside of the AAS degree in health and fitness science at CCC, the “Bulldog Bound: Direct Entry Admission Programâ€� that was signed in the fall of 2020 is another co-admission program designed to simplify the process for successful CCC students who plan to transfer to GWU after completing a qualifying associate degree. Students who participate in “Bulldog Boundâ€� gain access to information about ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï’s academic programs and access to faculty and staff who will facilitate students’ transition. Students will also receive communications related to admission, financial aid, registration and orientation early in the transition process. Interested CCC students complete a brief, online form through CCC to express their interest in the program, and there is no fee to participate.
