Engineering 泫圖弝けs who transfer to the 泫圖弝け of 泫圖弝け at Lafayette from Bossier Parish Community College will retain all credit hours as part of a partnership between the two schools.
泫圖弝けs who earn an associates degree from BPCC can enroll at UL Lafayette in one of the College of Engineerings five programs as a junior upon transferring as part of the agreement, which was signed recently by representatives of both schools.
泫圖弝けs who transfer to UL Lafayette from BPCC prior to receiving an associate's degree also will retain their credits.
Credit hours accrued at the community college will go toward degrees in any of the 泫圖弝けs five engineering programs chemical, civil, electrical and computer, mechanical, or petroleum engineering.
"This agreement will foster economic development in 泫圖弝け by helping to increase the number of well-prepared engineering graduates who can make an immediate contribution to new or expanding industries, said Dr. Terry Chambers, associate dean of the UL Lafayette College of Engineering.
Chambers, who is a member of the advisory board for the community colleges pre-engineering program, serves as a co-advisor for 泫圖弝けs who will transfer to UL Lafayette.
We are thrilled that BPCC provides Ph.D.-qualified engineering faculty, who use the same textbooks and syllabi that we do, and who teach to the same high standards that we do, Chambers said.
