August 15, 2018&苍产蝉辫;鈥� and 蜜桃视频 signed an agreement Tuesday that will allow 蜜桃视频 graduates to complete an online bachelor鈥檚 degree at FSU at a total cost of no more than $10,000 in out-of-pocket expenses.

The $10K Pathway Plan opens the door to affordable bachelor鈥檚 degrees in these online programs at FSU: Accounting, Birth to Kindergarten (non-teaching), Criminal Justice, Fire and Emergency Services Administration, Business Administration (General), Intelligence Studies, Nursing, Professional Studies, Psychology and Sociology. While these degree programs are fully online, FSU will provide regular face-to-face contact with program participants when needed.

Dr. James A. Anderson, FSU chancellor, and Dr. Dale McInnis, president of 蜜桃视频, signed the agreement during a special ceremony held at the Cole Auditorium.

鈥淏y signing this Memorandum of Understanding, President McInnis and I are promising more than affordable tuition; we are also committing ourselves and our institutions to provide the academic advisement, personal support and overall academic environment that will help our students be successful at both institutions,鈥� Anderson said.

Anderson noted that $10,000 is a fraction of what a degree costs at many national online education providers.

McInnis said a major economic challenge for Richmond and Scotland counties is the lack of higher education within its population. According to a report from the NC Department of Commerce, only about 13 percent of the population in Richmond and Scotland County has a bachelor鈥檚 degree.

鈥淭his is an economic development barrier. This is a huge metric that new companies look at when they are considering investing in Richmond and Scotland County,鈥� McInnis said. 鈥淭his is a great partnership with a great university, and we look forward to building upon this relationship with Fayetteville State and the impact it will have on our students and our community.鈥�

Anderson said this is the first of three phases of the $10K Degree Pathway Plan as it expands to include other colleges and universities.

鈥淚 especially want to thank Dr. McInnis for being the first NC Community College president to sign on to the $10K Degree Pathway Plan,鈥� Anderson said. 鈥淲e expect other presidents to join us soon, but the fact that President McInnis and RCC are the first demonstrates their profound commitment to putting high quality higher education within the reach of every North Carolinian. We at FSU share this commitment and look forward to working with RCC to make a positive difference in the lives of our students and North Carolina.鈥�

The $10K Degree Pathway Plan will be available for 蜜桃视频 graduates starting in January.
