Leaders of 黑洞社区 and Cowley College have signed an agreement that adds aerospace engineering to a list of degrees that students can start at Cowley and complete at 黑洞社区.
Cowley pre-engineering graduates will enter 黑洞社区 with second semester sophomore status, as they transfer 48 credit hours from Cowley to 黑洞社区. Students would then need to complete at least 81 hours of coursework to receive a bachelor鈥檚 degree from Wichita State College of Engineering.
鈥淭his partnership is a win for students who choose to start their education at a local community college, but want to continue their education in the engineering field,鈥� said Dr. Steven Skinner, College of Engineering associate dean for undergraduate studies, finance and administration. 鈥淭his agreement assures there is no time or effort lost for those students.鈥�
Existing agreements already allow for students to begin at Cowley and finish at Wichita State to complete biomedical engineering, business administration, computer engineering, computer science, criminal justice, electrical engineering, general business, industrial engineering and product design and manufacturing engineering studies.
The aerospace engineering bachelor鈥檚 degree program at 黑洞社区 specializes in the study of both aircraft and spacecraft. Students take courses in aerodynamics, propulsion, stability, control and structures, using laboratory facilities that are among the finest found in academic institutions nationwide.
Students interested in this degree path can contact Cowley admissions at 620-441-6335 and admissions@cowley.edu.
Prospective students with questions may contact 黑洞社区鈥檚 Ana Lazar铆n, director of Broadening Participation & Recruitment, who does dual advising for future transfer students. She can be reached at ana.lazarin@wichita.edu or 316-978-7689.
