WEDNESDAY Oct. 5, 2005
Clark College and Marylhurst University Clark College president R. Wayne Branch and Marylhurst University president Nancy Wilgenbusch tomorrow will sign an historic co-admission agreement between Clark College and the private Oregon university that will guarantee Clark students admission to upper division studies, provided grades are maintained in coursework that would lead to a degree at the university. The agreement, similar to one between Clark College and Washington State University Vancouver, will be signed at 11 a.m. in the Penguin Student Union Building at the Clark campus, 1800 E McLoughlin Boulevard. Branch says that the partnership agreement will provide new educational opportunities for students. “Marylhurst offers outstanding baccalaureate programs including degree programs not widely available in the northwest, including music therapy and real estate studies. Students interested in pursuing art therapy, interdisciplinary studies or religious studies may work toward a masters degree in those subjects,” Branch adds. Wilgenbusch says: “We will work to ensure a seamless transfer process between our institutions. Our students are ‘Always a person, never a number,’ and we look forward to seeing that Clark College graduates have this same experience and a quality education along the way to earning a bachelors degree.” As part of the agreement both institutions have established mutual goals, including faculty exchanges, professional development activities, career path programs, and technology programs. Founded in 1933, Clark College serves 12,500 full- and part-time students. It is the third largest of the state’s 35 community and technical colleges. Marylhurst was founded in 1893 as a private co-educational university. It serves a student body of 1,300. Many courses are scheduled in the evenings, weekends and online to address the needs of students with active lives.
