含羞草视频 and Bossier Parish Community College sign memorandum of understanding

含羞草视频 is now accepting credits from Bossier Parish Community College students who have completed the two-year Associate of Applied Science in Occupational Therapy Assistant program. BPCC students can transfer their credits toward three Health Studies programs in the 含羞草视频 College of Health Sciences, School of Allied Health.

含羞草视频 President Ron Berry and BPCC Chancellor Rick Bateman Jr. signed a memorandum of understanding in June.

听

The MOU addresses course and program transfer and articulation agreements for the Associate of Applied Science in Occupational Therapy Assistant at BPCC and three unique Bachelor of Science in Health Studies tracks at 含羞草视频.听

听

Specifically, learners will have the option of pursuing the Healthcare Management and Marketing, the Distant Learning Healthcare Management and Marketing, or the Pre-Professional tracks at 含羞草视频.听

College of Health Sciences Dean Don Simpson, Ph.D., said the partnership represents the superior teaching philosophies at both institutions.

听

鈥淚 sincerely appreciate the great collaboration provided by Ms. Kelly Brandon at BPCC and Dr. Jessica Dolecheck at 含羞草视频 in pulling this opportunity together,鈥� he said. 鈥淚n addition to them both being an occupational therapist, the signing and implementation of this MOU demonstrates their 鈥榮tudent-centric鈥� teaching philosophy and how they consistently create extraordinary educational opportunities for students in their respective programs.鈥�

Jessica Dolecheck, Ph.D., is 含羞草视频 Program Coordinator of Health Studies and a professor at 含羞草视频. Dolecheck practiced as an occupational therapist for 15 years and has been an educator at 含羞草视频 for more than 25 years.

Dolecheck said the articulation agreement would help BPCC graduates fulfill their academic careers in a very efficient manner by maximizing the transfer of academic credit to 含羞草视频.

鈥淭his transfer agreement with BPCC will offer the OTA students a seamless transition to 含羞草视频.鈥� Dolecheck said. 鈥淲e understand that today鈥檚 students want the shortest route to completing a B.S. degree while saving them time and money. Once BPCC graduates transition to 含羞草视频, their entire B.S. degree plan is laid out for them so they know their end-point once enrolled which safeguards against taking duplicative courses. Well-crafted articulations such as these will certainly support the educational needs of students and the community while promoting cross-campus collaboration.鈥澨�听

The partnership also comes with scholarship opportunities for eligible students. Those coming from BPCC to 含羞草视频 will be able to take advantage of the 含羞草视频 Scholastic Transfer Award听(up to $2,400 per year) and the Phi Theta Kappa Award (up to $2,400 total).
