PORT ANGELES — Graduates of Bates Technical College in Tacoma now can be admitted into a bachelor’s program at Peninsula College in Port Angeles.
The presidents of the two colleges — Luke Robins of Peninsula College and Ron Langrell of Bates — signed a memorandum of understanding Nov. 15 that provides an articulation program for admitting Bates graduates into Peninsula College’s bachelor of applied science in management program.
“The agreement provides an opportunity for Bates students to make a seamless and cost-effective transition to a bachelor’s program,” Robins said.
“It is an important step in providing additional educational pathways for technical college graduates to earn four-year degrees.”
Said Langrell: “This new relationship with Peninsula College provides current and former Bates student graduates the advantage of pursuing a four-year degree, directly enrolling in upper-division courses with junior-level standing.”
The program’s curriculum includes core courses in accounting, management theory, organizational behavior, strategic management, economics, project management, marketing on the Internet, decision-making and problem-solving, and the legal environments of business. Students also complete three courses providing exposure to the humanities, social sciences and science.
