Chatfield College and Southern State Community College recently signed articulation agreements with Mount Vernon Nazarene University-Cincinnati. The agreement facilitates the transfer of their associate degree graduates into MVNU’s Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) degree program.
“These agreements assure students from Southern State and Chatfield a seamless transition into our BSW degree-completion program, which is accredited by the Council on Social Work Education,” explained Karen Boyd, chair of MVNU’s social work department. Graduates are eligible for licensure in the field and/or for a one-year advanced standing Master of Social Work program.
With an increasing number of students around the country enrolling at two-year community colleges, MVNU wants to make it easier for students to continue on their path of education to earn a bachelor’s degree. The agreement essentially lays out a “road map” for Chatfield and Southern State students so they know which courses to take in order to fulfill their bachelor’s degree at MVNU. It ensures that their courses and credits are recognized. MVNU also holds this same agreement with several other colleges around the state and looks forward to forming future partnerships with other institutions in the southern Ohio area.
“Our classes are taken one evening per week, one course at a time” stated Joanie Gruber, assistant professor of social work at the Cincinnati site. “We provide all-inclusive pricing that covers fees, tuition and books, as well as a laptop computer. We make starting and completing a degree convenient for adult learners.”
MVNU’s BSW program offers class starts in October 2011 at its Cincinnati area campus located in Sharonville. To learn more, visit gps.mvnu.edu or contact 1-800-839-2355.
Chatfield, a private Catholic, two-year liberal arts college, awards Associate of Arts degrees in a number of areas, including human services/social work assistant. The school has two Ohio campuses, including St. Martin in northern Brown County, and Cincinnati on Logan Street near historic Findlay Market.
With four locations in south/central Ohio, including Wilmington, Washington Court House, Sardinia and Hillsboro, Southern State is a two year community college where students may complete an associate degree in human and social services.
Established in 1968, MVNU is a Christian teaching university for traditional age students, graduate students, and working adults who seek opportunities to learn and grow in an academic community of faith. Building upon the strong foundation of its main campus in Mount Vernon, Ohio, the university provides innovative graduate and undergraduate programs for working professionals in conveniently located campuses throughout Ohio.
