ICC and K-State Sign 2+2 Agreements

Veterinary Technology and Business majors at Independence Community College will be able to slide seamlessly into bachelor degree programs at Kansas State University when College officials sign a 2+2 agreement May 24th. The agreement will define the acceptance of graduating ICC students into general business programs and ICC’s Vet Tech students into the Technology Management degree program.

K-State officials will be on ICC’s main campus on Tuesday, May 24th, in the Administration Office Building at 1:15 p.m. Signing the agreement on behalf of ICC will be Travis Githens, Interim Dean of Instruction. All faculty, staff and community members are encouraged to join the celebration.

Special guests from Kansas State will include: Sue Maes, Dean of the Division of Continuing Education; Anand Desai, Assistant Dean of the College of Business; Barb Newhouse, Assistant Dean of the Division of Continuing Education; Don Von Bergen, Arts and Science Department Head, K-State Salina; Ron Jackson, Business Program Coordinator – DCE; Rachel Schafer, Bachelor's Degree Completion Program Academic Advisor; and Jennifer Pfortmiller, Affiliate Site Manager K-State Division of Continuing Education.

2+2 articulation agreements with four-year universities honor ICC’s general education courses and conferred degrees when sophomore students consider transferring to a university for their junior and senior years. Degree Completion Programs are also available for students’ use in completing a degree; many of the courses are provided on the ICC campus or presented on-line.

In addition to K-State, ICC transfer equivalencies have been established with Emporia State University, Fort Hays State University, Pittsburg State University, the University of Kansas, and Wichita State University.
