Today San Antonio College and Texas State
University-San Marcos officials announced an articulation agreement
to help facilitate the transfer of students with Arts & Sciences
majors. The pact amends and updates an agreement signed between
the two institutions in 1994.
" We are excited about this renewed partnership, which will make it easier
for San Antonio College students to continue their studies at Texas State and
earn their bachelor's degree," said Dr. Robert E. Zeigler, President
of San Antonio College.
" For the sake of the future economy of the state, as well as for the quality
of life of our citizens, we need to encourage as many Texans as possible to get
bachelor's degrees," said Dr. Denise M. Trauth, President of Texas State. "Our
goal with these transfer guides is to smooth the transition from two-year
college to four-year college to help students earn those degrees."
To provide students with a smooth transition from San Antonio
College to Texas State, the Texas State College of Liberal Arts
and the
SAC Division of Arts & Sciences
have established 34 Transfer Planning Guides.
These guides will assist students working toward Bachelor's degrees in such fields
as Anthropology, English, Geography, History, International Studies, Modern Languages,
Philosophy, Political Science, Psychology, Sociology, Accounting, Computer Information
Systems, Economics, Finance, Management, Marketing, and Applied Arts and Sciences.
San Antonio College, a college of the Alamo Community College District, enrolls
approximately 23,000 credit students each semester and 15,000 continuing education
students annually. It is the largest single-campus community college in Texas.
Texas State is among the top college choices of SAC students in transferring
credits to complete their undergraduate studies, with 111 students transferring
for the Fall 2004 Semester.
Texas State is a doctoral-granting university located in the Austin-San Antonio
corridor. It is the largest campus in the Texas State University System and the
6th largest in the state. Texas State enrolls 26,827 students who choose from
114 undergraduate, 81 masters and six Ph.D. graduate degree programs.
