CMU Inks Cooperative Pacts With NCMC

Filed under CMU News on Wednesday, October 10, 2012.

Officials from Central Methodist University and North Central Missouri College gathered on the NCMC campus in Trenton recently to confirm and strengthen their partnership.

The event was highlighted by a signing ceremony designed to increase opportunities for student access to and success in higher education in the Trenton area.

Academic programs affirmed at the ceremony include classes towards the Master of Education degree as well as a bachelor's degree program in Child Development. There are also plans for CMU to offer an undergraduate program in Early Childhood Education, pending approval by the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education.

Though the two institutions have worked together for several years, staff at CMU and NCMC wanted to evaluate existing joint academic agreements to make sure they are current and reflect both institutions' dedication to ensuring student success.

Officials involved from North Central Missouri College include President Neal Nuttall; Jamie Hooyman, dean of instruction; and Lynda Snuffer, Early Childhood instructor and a CMU alumna. CMU was represented by President Marianne Inman; Rita Gulstad, vice president and dean; and Sandra Wald, assistant dean.

Coursework for these academic programs will begin Jan 10. For more information about the CMU programs at NCMC, contact Aimee Sage at 660-248-6651.
