Manor College and Reading Area Community College announced a Dual Admission Agreement that allows students graduating from Reading to be guaranteed admission to bachelor degree programs at Manor.
“This agreement provides next-level opportunities for student degree achievement in our region,” said Dr. Jonathan Peri, president of Manor College. “We’re excited to connect these students with bachelor-level programs in a way that makes the transfer process fast and seamless.”
The deal was formalized on Jan. 9 in a ceremonial signing on the Reading Area Community College campus.
Under the agreement, students at Reading who complete an associate’s degree and graduate with a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.5 will be guaranteed admission into Manor. Degree programs include Allied Health Science, Business, Computer and Information Systems, Child Development and Psychology.
“We wanted to do this because the students at Reading Area Community College are very similar to the students here at Manor,” said Dr. Joseph Gillespie, Manor College Provost. “We would of course say yes to providing them an opportunity to continue their education in an institution with similar student-centered values as the one they’re currently attending.” ••
