Albany State University, a historically Black educational institution in Georgia, has recently signed an agreement with Grand Valley State University in Michigan that will open the door for more students at the HBCU to pursue a graduate education.
Upon graduation from Albany State University, students will have the opportunity to transition to Grand Valley State University’s master’s degree programs in communications and healthcare management. Students who enroll in these graduate programs will have access to scholarships, mentorships, and student support resources. Additionally, the agreement calls for joint research projects between the partner institutions.
“These partnerships provide a special opportunity for progress,” said Lawrence Drake, interim president of Albany State University. “ASU was built on progress. Students also progress due to life-long learning, and these partnerships will allow our students to be excited about this level of learning. Student learners of any age can progress in their education and these partnerships help them continue on their journey, which is important to ASU and our colleagues.”
