Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College and Mississippi University for Women signed a Memorandum of Understanding for new bachelor degree pathways between the two institutions on September 20 at MGCCC’s Hospitality Resort Management Center.  The MOU will provide for students in certain degree areas to transfer up to 90 credit hours to MUW after graduating from MGCCC. 

“We are so excited to expand our current partnership with The W,” said Dr. Mary S. Graham, MGCCC president. “The opportunity for our students to be able to transfer up to 90 hours allows them to maximize their education at MGCCC before transferring to the university.”

The degree areas included are Business Administration Management, Culinary Management, Business Administration Management Information Systems, Business Administration Health Care Management, Early Childhood Education, and Registered Nurse (RN) to Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) Advanced Placement Option.

“We are excited about the opportunity to partner with MGCCC,” MUW President Nora Miller said. “We are building great partnerships with Mississippi community colleges to increase the educational attainment of Mississippians.”
