Bristol Community College adds deaf studies to Lesley University | SouthCoastToday.com
Bristol Community College has added courses taken to complete degrees in Deaf Studies Education, Deaf Studies Transfer: Interpreter, and Deaf Studies programs to the existing degree completion program in Psychology with Lesley University, in Cambridge, MA. All coursework included in the BCC Deaf Studies program will be accepted and applied towards required coursework in the Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology at Lesley University.
A unique benefit of this agreement is that students can transfer up to 90 BCC credits to Lesley, allowing students to take courses beyond those required for their associate's degree.
This means that BCC students can take up to a full year's of BCC courses beyond the associate's degree and use those courses toward their bachelor's degree. This saves students money, as students can take advantage of the affordable costs of credits at BCC. "The agreement allows students who begin at BCC, to seamlessly continue their education without losing time," said BCC Director of Transfer Affairs Eileen Shea.
The target date to begin the program is summer or fall 2012. Lesley University and BCC are considering offering the classes on BCC's Fall River Campus one night per week for eight weeks.
