The agreement will outline how several associates’ degrees from Three Rivers will transfer directly into corresponding University of Missouri bachelor’s degree programs at MU and online.  Programs include nursing, teaching, forestry, occupational and physical therapy assistant and more.
 
“This is very exciting,” said Dr. Devin Stephenson, president of Three Rivers.   “Top brass from the University of Missouri will be coming down, and I know Mizzou grads in the area will be excited about this.  It’s very meaningful for Mizzou, as Missouri’s flagship university, to come here.  They like what we’re doing, and more and more of our graduates are transferring there.  We feel that this is Mizzou’s stamp of approval on the quality of our institution.”
 
Three Rivers College provides one-on-one academic advisement, and advisors are trained to work with students to make sure their credits transfer to the student’s university of choice.  For more information on university transfer programs available at Three Rivers, visit trcc.edu/programsofstudy.
