Beginning in the fall semester of 2011, Nichols College of Dudley will offer fourth year course options at the Devens campus through the new “A to B & Beyond” Program.
In order to be eligible for this program students must be enrolled in Mount Wachusett’s College Business Transfer Program as well as maintain a grade point average of 2.0. Students who meet these requirements can apply to the program during their second year of study. Once accepted, students can continue taking classes at Mount Wachusett for a third year before transferring to Nichols.
In a press release from Nichols College, officials stated that the “The ‘A to B & Beyond’ Program is the perfect extension to MWCC’s business program as there are significant career benefits associated with being a Nichols graduate…. Program flexibility is a significant advantage to the student as fourth-year coursework taught by Nichols professors can be completed on the Devens campus, on Nichols campus in Dudley, or through Nichols online program.”
According to the Nichols College website, ten percent of Nichols’ graduates become business owners, presidents, or CEOs. Additionally, more than 90 percent of the students from the graduating class of 2006 successfully found employment within six months of obtaining their degree. Although this program is currently only available for students pursuing a degree in business management, other bachelor degrees can be obtained through Mount Wachusett’s Three Plus ONE Program. On this track, students can earn an extra 30 credits at Mount Wachusett, and then transfer those to one of the program’s five partner schools.
