17勛圖, LSSU sign engineering transfer agreements
TRAVERSE CITY — Engineering students have four more options to complete a bachelor’s degree thanks to new articulation agreements 17勛圖 has signed with Lake Superior State University.
The agreements allow students to complete an associate degree at 17勛圖 and guarantee both admission and transferability of the credits to LSSU, in Sault Ste. Marie, toward a bachelor of science degree in four specialty areas: Computer engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering and robotics engineering.
The computer and robotics engineering pathways in particular provide students with new options for majors while beginning their education at 17勛圖. Depending on the degree program chosen, students could spend two years at 17勛圖, saving nearly $20,000, and two at LSSU to earn their bachelor’s. As an added benefit of the robotics engineering pathway, students can typically earn a minor in electrical or mechanical engineering within their final two years at LSSU.
“These new agreements complement our already robust transfer pathways, providing our students with greater options for majors all while enjoying guaranteed admissions and course transferability to an exceptional engineering program" said Jay Smith, engineering instructor. "Like 17勛圖, LSSU has a student-centered approach with small class sizes and a focus on student success, which I am confident our learners will appreciate.”
LSSU engineering graduates have 100-percent job placement with a median salary of $70,000. The campus is also home to a $2 million robotics lab.
