PASADENA, Texas – San Jacinto College (SJC) and LeTourneau University (LETU) have entered into an articulation agreement to allow students to pursue bachelor’s degrees that stem from SJC programs.
LETU is a part of the University Connection at the SJC North campus and offers bachelor’s degrees from the College’s business management, child development/early childhood, and mental health services programs.
Providing opportunities for students to complete their SJC education while enrolled in LETU at the same time will ensure a smooth transfer without loss of credit.
“It’s the ‘best of both worlds’ for our students,” said Dr. Catherine O’Brien, SJC dean of teaching and learning. “This articulation agreement allows students to transfer seamlessly to LeTourneau to complete their bachelor’s degree in management, psychology and education.”
The university has also expanded its schedule this Spring by two courses. Many SJC students are already enrolled in online courses with LETU and will now have the option to take the courses at the North campus.
“Many community college students don’t realize how transfer-friendly private universities can be,” said Carol Green in a prepared statement. Green serves as the university’s vice president for the School of Graduate and Professional Studies. “LeTourneau’s programs provide community college graduates with flexible and convenient programs that provide applied and hands-on learning that is current and relevant, all housed within a well-respected Christian university. LeTourneau is working hard to put our programs within reach.”
San Jacinto College serves more than 27,000 students in over 140 degrees and certificates in university transfer and technical programs. The College also serves the community through workforce training. Students come with various goals and aspirations and we are committed to their success. San Jacinto College. Your Goals. Your College.
