Virginia Western Community College and Radford University celebrated a strengthened partnership on Monday, Oct. 12, that will enable seamless transfer for students in three health-related programs. Virginia Western President Laura J. Treanor and Radford President Bret Danilowicz signed the articulation agreements in a ceremony on the Virginia Western campus.
Virginia Western students who meet all requirements and complete the Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.) degree in Medical Laboratory Technology; Associate of Science (A.S.) degree in Science: Biotechnology; or the Associate of Science (A.S.) degree in Science: Health Sciences; will be guaranteed admission to the Bachelor of Science in Medical Laboratory Science degree program at Radford University.
“Virginia Western’s deep connections in the healthcare community give us real-time information about what programs will serve our region most effectively,” Virginia Western President Laura Treanor said. “This partnership with Radford University addresses those community needs while expanding opportunities for our students to enter in-demand career pathways.”
