The objective is to facilitate student entry or reentry into a bachelor’s degree program at Wright State.
“Wright State University is a great institution and a wonderful place to send our students,” Edison State President Dr. Doreen Larson said in a release. “It’s the good reputation and work Wright State does with students that makes us confident in this agreement.”
To enter the PASS program, students must declare the intention to enroll at Wright State when applying to or while enrolled at Edison State.
Following the completion of a specified program of study at Edison State — which may consist of an entire associate degree or a set of course equivalencies, depending upon the students prior academic record and intended major — the seamless transfer to Wright State takes place.
In between, the students receive an array of wrap-around services from both institutions, aimed at ensuring the best use of student time and course selection options.
“We want to get students on track right when they come in the door and keep their eye on their (potential) career and completing the four year program,” Wright State University Provost Dr. Thomas Sudkamp said in a release. “That’s accomplished through joint advising, articulation agreements, and making sure everything is working smoothly for the students. These are the special things that can keep students involved in getting their associate degree and continuing to earn their bachelor’s degree.”
Upon completion of the PASS program, students will be guaranteed admission to Wright State with a waived undergraduate application fee.
Additional benefits available to participants include Next Step scholarship eligibility, joint advising, access to identified services and facilities, and admission to non-ticketed athletic and cultural events.
