Alma College, Saginaw Chippewa Tribal College Sign Articulation Agreement
Leaders from Alma College and the Saginaw Chippewa Tribal College in
Mount Pleasant have signed an articulation agreement that provides easy
transfer for Tribal College students who wish to complete their studies
toward a baccalaureate degree at Alma College.
Tribal College students who complete the requirements for an
associate’s degree can transfer credits to Alma College, said Alma
President Saundra Tracy.
“This articulation agreement is a statement of cooperation between our
institutions that provides for a smooth transition for Tribal College
students at Alma College,” said Tracy. “Our hope is that this agreement
is a first step toward exploring other areas for future cooperation and
the sharing of experiences between our students, faculty and staff.
“We’re excited about the potential for engaging Tribal College students
in ways that can enrich the Alma campus community,” she said.
The Saginaw Chippewa Tribal College, a non-profit, higher education
institution established by a 1998 resolution of the Saginaw Chippewa
Tribal Council, offers two-year associate of arts degrees in liberal
arts, business and Native American studies.
“We look forward to working with the faculty and administration of Alma
College in the future to the mutual benefit of Alma College students
and Saginaw Chippewa Tribal College students,” said Tribal College
President Karen Radell.
Alma College, founded in 1886, is a nationally recognized private
liberal arts college that highlights personalized education, social
responsibility and extraordinary achievement. The College offers 28
majors, interdisciplinary studies and pre-professional programs in
dentistry, engineering, law, medicine and occupational therapy.
