A memorandum of agreement between the University of Arkansas at Monticello and Cossatot Community College of the University of Arkansas will ease the transfer of students from CCCUA to the natural resources management program in UAM’s School of Forestry and Natural Resources.
According to Phil Tappe, dean of the School of Forestry and Natural Resources, the agreement is designed to help CCCUA students interested in becoming natural resources management majors at UAM.
As part of the agreement, CCCUA will help students in course selection to ensure that courses taken at CCCUA fit the required general education and core courses needed to transfer into the natural resources management program. CCCUA will also appoint a transfer facilitator as a faculty advisor to work with the associate dean of academics in the School of Forestry and Natural Resources to complete the transfer process.
UAM will work with CCCUA advisors to identify courses that will substitute directly in the transfer process.
“Our advisors will work individually with CCCUA students and advisors to ensure that the transfer process will be as easy as possible,” Tappe said. “When possible, we will offer transfer scholarships to CCCUA students who meet the qualifications and guidelines for UAM transfer scholarships.”
