Follow on Google News | Brandman University and Olympic College Partner to Give Students a Clear Path to Four-Year DegreeBrandman University and Olympic College announced the signing of an Early Advantage Program partnership agreement, which offers Olympic students an easy and affordable way to complete their bachelor's degree.
By enrolling in the Early Advantage Program, Olympic College students will be able to map out their education pathway to Brandman. EAP students are open to take Brandman classes as needed to ensure a timely completion of their associate degree at Olympic College. Participants in the program will have access to enhanced cooperative academic and student services from both institutions including Brandman’s advising services, information sessions, technology support, and education plans. The partnership will also allow students to lock in their academic catalog year, giving them the ability to transfer all completed coursework contained in the agreement. To support the affiliation, Brandman University is also launching a Virtual Transfer Program (VTP) with Olympic College. This comes in the form of a web page that is available to students who are looking to transfer to complete their four-year degree. It is an interactive initiative that allows an Olympic College student to download a completed education plan and know exactly what courses will transfer to a Brandman degree. To view the VTP partnership page visit http://www.Brandman.edu/ “Brandman University establishes Early Advantage partnership agreements with community colleges like Olympic College to provide students with a clearly defined path to pursue their higher education,” said Gary Brahm, Chancellor of Brandman University. The EAP is another option for Olympic College students to attain their bachelor’s degree. As part of the agreement, Brandman offers a 10% tuition discount to transfer students and will waive all application fees for Olympic College students participating in the EAP. ”The partnership between Olympic College and Brandman University is an outstanding opportunity for students to pursue more options for a bachelor’s degree locally. Brandman has an excellent reputation and Olympic College is excited to be partnering on this new endeavor,” said Dr. David Mitchell, President of Olympic College.
