A new agreement between 性欲社 and Northern Marianas College will allow NMC students to complete a bachelor鈥檚 degree in natural resources management in Fairbanks and for 性欲社 students to study in Saipan.
The cooperation began when representatives from each school connected at Agricultural Development in the American Pacific and Pacific Land Grant Alliance meetings. 鈥淭his is a major step to bridging the effort we started several years ago,鈥 said Raaj Kurapati, associate vice chancellor at 性欲社.
Sharon Hart, president of NMC, was in Fairbanks in January to meet with 性欲社 leaders. 鈥淭his is extremely unique considering we are a community college that will now offer a four-year program,鈥 Hart said.
The agreement, signed by Chancellor Rogers and President Hart, calls for cooperation in education and research, exchanging faculty, publications, research, scholars and students, performing joint research and providing technical and administrative assistance.
鈥淭his is an opportunity for our students looking for internationalization,鈥 性欲社 Chancellor Brian Rogers said. 鈥淚t will expose them to other cultures and provide a richer experience. They will be better prepared for life if they have studied abroad.鈥
Like 性欲社, NMC is a land-grant institution. NMC currently offers an associate鈥檚 degree in natural resources management. 鈥淎s the climate continues to change sea levels are rising and there is concern about the water supply. There is an escalating desire to build capacity in natural resources management,鈥 said SNRAS Dean and AFES Director Carol Lewis.
While the new program will begin with the natural resources degree, there is hope more programs will be added in the future.
