<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\tOn October 2, officials from Bemidji State University and Pine Technical College signed a transfer agreement making it easier for Pine Tech manufacturing students to complete bachelor’s degrees at Bemidji State.<\/p>\n
Under the agreement, students in Pine Tech’s advanced manufacturing programs — which include applied engineering technology, automated systems technology and its industrial equipment emphasis area, precision machining technology, welding and 360 online manufacturing — can more easily transfer into Bemidji State programs to complete their four-year degrees.<\/p>\n
BSU’s programs participating in this transfer agreement, all in its School of Technology, Art & Design, include applied engineering, applied management, engineering technology, project management, operations management, construction and facility management, and product development.<\/p>\n
Dave Towley, assistant professor of technology, art & design at Bemidji State, participated in the signing and said he appreciated the opportunity to meet in person with Pine Tech faculty as the two institutions launch this transfer relationship.<\/p>\n
“We were able to see first-hand the great work that they are doing at Pine Technical College,” Towley said. “We should expect to see very positive effects with students coming here as a result of this agreement.”<\/p>\n
Joining Towley on the trip were Jim Barta, dean of the College of Art, Education & Humanities; Mike Lund and Lyle Meulebroeck, associate professors of technology, art & design; and Dan Voss, university articulation coordinator.<\/p>\n
Voss said he was encouraged by the event and believes it will create new opportunities for Pine Technical College students to complete their bachelor’s degrees.<\/p>\n
“This will be a strong transfer partnership, now and in the future,” he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
