STARKVILLE, Miss.鈥敾ㄐ阒辈 State University and Louisiana Delta Community College signed a memorandum of understanding today [June 9] that paves the way for LDCC students enrolled in technical education programs to join MSU鈥檚 Bachelor of Applied Science program.
Under the agreement, the two institutions of higher learning will work together on numerous initiatives streamlining the pathways between LDCC and MSU, including identifying LDCC classes that will count toward the bachelor鈥檚 degree, reverse-transfer credit options, resource-sharing opportunities and other inclusion efforts.

鈥淭his is a great example of the kind of partnership we envisioned from the very beginning of this program鈥攐ne that takes students outside of traditional educational pathways and creates opportunities for them to be extraordinarily successful in life,鈥 added MSU Provost and Executive Vice President David Shaw. 鈥淲e see Louisiana Delta as a great example of a very successful community college system that we want to be partnered with so that we can continue creating those opportunities.鈥
MSU launched its BAS program in 2019, significantly expanding the university鈥檚 acceptance of technical credit from community colleges and military training. It is intended to serve the needs of adults who have completed a technical associate degree program through a community college or the military and need additional education to advance their careers.
