November 2, 2018 / Vincennes University Partners with Logan
University
Agreement allows students to earn associate and
baccalaureate degree in four years
VINCENNES, Ind. - Vincennes University has partnered with Logan
in Chesterfield, Missouri, on an articulation agreement that
establishes a new 2+2 dual-degree program between the two institutions.
The program makes it possible for qualified students to earn in
four years both an Associate of Arts or Science degree from Vincennes
University and a Bachelor of Science degree in human biology from
Logan’s College of Chiropractic.
Curt Coffman, dean of the VU College of Science, Engineering,
and Mathematics, said he is excited to be able to offer this pathway.
“Vincennes University students who plan to continue their education at
Logan University will greatly benefit from this agreement,” he said.
“They will know that all of their credits will transfer and they can
enter Logan as a junior to complete their degree in Human Biology.”
Clay McDonald, president of Logan University, said he is
thrilled to be partnering with VU for Logan’s first 2+2 agreement,
which is helping meet the growing demand for careers in health
sciences. “We look forward to forging this new relationship and
welcome VU students to fulfill their own career aspirations through
our academic degree offerings,” he said.
Under the provisions of this 2+2 program, qualified students
must successfully complete a minimum of 54 credit hours at VU with a
grade point average of at least 2.0 in order to be eligible for
admission to Logan. The program is currently available to those
interested students.
