College of Western Idaho (CWI) students will have an easier time transferring to the University of Montana thanks to an agreement approved this month by the two schools.
The provosts of both colleges signed a memorandum of understanding that will provide students improved advising at both institutions; expand student access to institutional services and curriculum; and may shorten the time to a degree, by helping students avoid taking courses that cannot be applied to their degree requirements.
“We are pleased to finalize this agreement with UM, which provides tremendous value for our students and employees,” said David Shellberg, CWI’s Executive Vice President of Instruction and Student Services. “We are particularly happy with two specific online BA degree possibilities in both Art and Media Arts, programs that offer rare learning opportunities in these fields of study for our graduates.”
The University of Montana offers world-class learning and undergraduate research opportunities and facilities and is dedicated to promoting undergraduate research, scholarship and creative activity in all fields of study. One of the nation's 377 top institutions for undergraduate education and a great buy according to the Princeton Review, UM has more Udall Scholars than any University in the country.
