BUEA, Cameroon - Aug. 21, 2014 - PRLog -- Saint Monica University (SMU): The American International University in Cameroon and the US-based Sojourner-Douglas College (SDC) in Baltimore, Maryland, today announced that they have signed an articulation agreement that would ease the transfer of credits between the two universities. The articulation agreement is seen as the first step for SDC to extend its programs to Africa, while enabling SMU students in Africa to earn US-accredited degrees.

“As an American-style university based in Cameroon, Saint Monica University sees the establishment of partnerships with American universities as a matter of strategic importance,” said Prof. Januarius Jingwa (JJ) Asongu, President and Chief Executive Officer of SMU. “This articulation agreement with Sojourner-Douglas College is most significant because it allows our students to earn US-accredited degrees while studying in Cameroon or to transfer to the United States in order to complete their degree programs.”

The mission of Saint Monica University is to improve human intellectual capital and competitiveness through the provision of high quality and efficient education services, by way of a combination of physical and virtual interactions, made available to a growing population looking for self-transcendence in life through higher and continuous education.

“The mission of this joint endeavor is to provide high quality educational programming to developing markets in the United States, in Cameroon and throughout the world at an affordable cost,” said Dr. Charles W. Simmons, President and founder of Sojourner-Douglass College. “The purpose of this strategic alliance and partnership is to provide in concert the quality, depth, breadth and sustainability of blended educational programming that neither of the Parties to this agreement is able to provide alone. Sojourner-Douglass College continues the legacy of self-determination that we began in the 1970’s. Our driving forces have remained the same: educating adults and empowering members of the community.”

The mission of Sojourner-Douglass College is to provide its students with an innovative and supportive world-class education that is accessible and affordable. This educational opportunity is available to those who are desirous of pursing lifelong learning and personal development, regardless of age, nationality or ethnic background. To accomplish this end, Sojourner-Douglass College and Saint Monica University will ensure that its educational opportunities will be of the highest quality, with ethical values at its core, and will be career-centered in its nature, intercultural in its focus and global in its scope. Sojourner-Douglass College believes that those who complete its programs will be able to lead, participate fully and prosper in the global marketplace of education, healthcare and international commerce.
