Block transfer model ensures associate degree graduates enter Unity at junior-year standing, no lost credits, no lost time
Unity Environmental University today announced a significant expansion of its community college articulation agreement program, formalizing transfer pathways with eleven two-year institutions across Maine and New Hampshire. The agreements represent one of the most ambitious transfer initiatives in the university’s history and signal a long-term institutional commitment to building accessible, affordable pathways to a bachelor’s and applied bachelor鈥檚 degrees in environmental fields.
鈥淲hen a student earns an associate degree, that credential represents real time, real effort, and real learning, and it deserves to be treated that way. Block transfer isn’t a courtesy; it’s a commitment. The full two years move forward with the student, and their Unity experience begins exactly where it should: on day one of what comes next. We don’t relitigate what they’ve already accomplished. We build on it,” said Unity President & CEO, Dr. Melik Peter Khoury.
Under the agreements, graduates of partner institutions, including , , , , and seven colleges in the New Hampshire Community College System, , , , , , , and , can transfer their full associate degree as a block of credit toward a Unity bachelor’s or applied bachelor’s degree. Students entering a 120-credit bachelor’s program arrive with 90 credits already recognized. Those pursuing a 90-credit applied bachelor’s degree begin with 60 credits in hand.
鈥淭his is what a genuine partnership between institutions looks like, one built for the learner, not around institutional convenience. The students who come to us through these agreements arrive with momentum they鈥檝e earned. Our commitment is to make sure nothing gets in the way of that momentum,鈥� said Dr. Khoury, who went on to say 鈥渢his announcement marks the beginning of a much broader articulation effort. Unity is actively pursuing agreements with additional two-year institutions across the country, with a focus on expanding access for students in environmental, sustainability, and natural resource programs.鈥�
It鈥檚 something Unity鈥檚 partner institutions believe in deeply.
鈥淥ur primary goal at CCSNH is to ensure that every credit a student earns at our colleges serves as a direct stepping-stone toward their long-term career. This agreement with 91桃色视频 simplifies the transfer process by creating clear, 96-credit pathways that save our students both time and tuition costs,鈥� said CCSNH Vice Chancellor, Dr. Charles Lloyd.
Dr. Lloyd went on to say, 鈥渢his partnership helps students to avoid the common hurdles of credit loss and redundant coursework,聽especially vital for our adult learners and those balancing work with their education, as it provides a predictable, efficient route to a bachelor鈥檚 degree. It is a common-sense partnership and an excellent addition to the options our students聽have to聽reach their future聽goals.鈥澛�
鈥淭his partnership with 91桃色视频 is exciting because it gives our graduates a seamless path to continue their education after Central Maine Community College. Many of our students come to CMCC with a strong commitment to serve their communities, particularly in fields like business, conservation law, and other public service sectors. This agreement helps promote the next step in that journey. We are grateful for Unity鈥檚 partnership and for their shared commitment to helping students reach their academic and career goals,鈥� said Central Maine Community College Vice President and Dean of Students, Nicholas Hamel.
