The University of Niagara Falls Canada (UNF)’s new credit transfer agreement with Niagara College (NC) will help establish a strong network among two of Niagara’s higher education institutions and give students the opportunity to further their academic and career goals.
On Sept. 19, a Program Pathways Transfer Credit Articulation Agreement was officially signed by Cyndi McLeod, CEO of Global University Systems Canada and UNF’s inaugural president, and Fiona Allan, NC’s Vice President, Academic during a ceremony at UNF’s downtown Niagara Falls campus.
The agreement allows students from NC to easily transfer applicable credits into all five of UNF’s programs, which include an Honours Bachelor of Business Administration, Honours Bachelor of Science – Biomedical Sciences, Master of Arts in Digital Media and Global Communications, Master of Data Analytics, and Master of Management.
NC students from a wide variety of programs will have the opportunity to explore further education at UNF through this pathway. For UNF master’s degrees, credits from a qualifying NC post-graduate certificate will be accepted.
“Partnering with Niagara College honours their presence in our region and further demonstrates UNF’s commitment to student success. We’re excited to have taken this important step,” said David Gray, Provost & Vice-President, Academic with UNF.
“Articulation agreements create important learning pathways for our students and reflect the value of a Niagara College credential,” said Allan. “We’re pleased to offer a new agreement with the University of Niagara Falls Canada, and to build on the more than 300 articulation pathways we offer with colleges and universities around the world.”
Niagara College has a full-time enrolment of more than 10,000 students from over 100 countries, who study in 130 diploma, certificate and bachelor degree programs at specialized campuses in Welland and Niagara-on-the-Lake. Niagara College is also involved in educational projects and partnerships around the world and is ranked Canada’s No.1 research college.
