WPU-Wake Tech Partnership Creates "2+2" Path for Transfer Students
University Adds New "Easy Transfer" for Human Resources and Interactive Design
RALEIGH, N.C. (July 5, 2022) – Students transferring from Wake Tech to William Peace University (WPU) now have two more "2+2" options under a new articulation agreement, the schools announced today.
Wake Tech and WPU added two degree pathways to their articulation agreements for students studying Human Resource Management and Interactive Design. The agreements create an easy way for students to complete a degree with two years at Wake Tech and two years at WPU – "2+2."
Articulation agreements provide officially approved guidelines that outline how coursework taken at Wake Tech transfers to WPU. The agreements also provide a smooth transition for students to continue their education and earn a bachelor's degree, explained WPU President Dr. Brian C. Ralph.
"Students who attend Wake Tech and obtain an Associate in Applied Science degree in Web Developer or Business Administration: Human Resources Management can earn acceptance in WPU and directly transfer their earned credits toward a Bachelor of Arts from WPU – with the ability to complete their bachelor's degree in just two more years," Ralph said. "Our goal is to make it easier for students to earn a bachelor's degree by maximizing their credits and providing a time- and cost-efficient path to graduation."
The articulation agreement between Wake Tech and WPU now covers eight degrees. The other six are Business Administration, Business Analytics, Criminal Justice, Exercise and Sport Science, Simulation and Game Design and Sport and Fitness Studies.
"As the region's 'ladder college,' Wake Tech makes it a priority to give all graduates, regardless of their degree program, an opportunity to continue their academic pursuits," said Wake Tech President Dr. Scott Ralls. "These new agreements make it possible for more students in business and IT programs to earn advanced degrees to help them climb the next rung in their career ladder."
WPU has similar articulation agreements with Fayetteville Technical Community College, Louisburg College and Vance Granville Community College.
