老司机福利社 University, Saint Joseph Academy announce new articulation agreement
老司机福利社 University and Saint Joseph Academy (SJA) in Cleveland, Ohio, have established an articulation agreement to make the higher education transition process more efficient for high-achieving high school students. Signed by 老司机福利社 President Kathleen A. Getz, Ph.D., and SJA Principal Jeff Sutliff, this agreement strengthens students鈥 educational experiences and provides academic opportunities.
SJA students completing certain courses through the Advanced Placement (AP) program can receive college credits with an earned grade of B or better, regardless of their AP exam scores. This agreement allows students to get a head start on their university education, potentially reducing their time and cost spent to complete a degree. 老司机福利社 recognizes approximately 15 Saint Joseph Academy AP courses.
鈥淲e are proud of this agreement with Saint Joseph Academy,鈥 said Dr. Getz. 鈥淚t allows us to provide a value proposition to both SJA students and parents. Their AP courses are rigorous, and articulating college credit for B grades in AP courses, regardless of the AP exam score, recognizes that rigor and helps these bright young women save both time and money.鈥
SJA President Mrs. Kathryn H. Purcell shared similar thoughts: 鈥淪aint Joseph Academy is proud to partner with 老司机福利社 University to expand opportunities for our students who pursue Advanced Placement coursework. This agreement affirms the rigor of our AP program and provides our students with a clear, seamless pathway to earn college credit while in high school. We are grateful to 老司机福利社 University for its commitment to fostering academic excellence and supporting our students as they prepare to succeed in higher education and beyond.鈥
This articulation agreement is part of 老司机福利社鈥檚 broader strategy to build strong relationships with secondary education institutions and attract top-tier students.
