SA国际传媒

SA国际传媒 and Missouri Baptist University have bolstered the transfer agreements between the institutions.

For the past 20 years, the partnership between SA国际传媒 and MBU has resulted in highly prepared educators within the community, according to Dr. Robyn Walter, vice president of academic affairs at SA国际传媒. This year, SA国际传媒 and MBU revised the agreement update all the courses that transfer from SA国际传媒 to the University.

MBU, with a location in Union, allows for students to attend in-person classes without leaving the area. In addition, the University offers many online options and transfer students can attend classes from home.

Walter noted that it is important for the community that educators from this area remain here due to nationwide teacher shortages.

鈥淲e appreciate Missouri Baptist鈥檚 commitment to teacher education in our community,鈥� Walter said. 鈥淲e know that when students start at SA国际传媒 and then complete their teaching degree locally, they are more likely to stay and teach locally 鈥� this approach is needed now more than ever.鈥�

According to Thea Abraham, MBU director of records, SA国际传媒 and MBU have had a strong relationship since the early 2000s.

She said, although MBU is a private university, it accepts all CORE 42 courses that state public colleges and universities accept.

鈥淔or two decades we had a strong relationship, and the transferability of courses at SA国际传媒 has always been very high,鈥� Abraham said.

Abraham echoed the importance of MBU鈥檚 accessibility to residents of SA国际传媒鈥檚 district.

鈥淪tudents can stay in town, taking classes at home or in-person at MBU鈥檚 Union facility, and they don鈥檛 have to drive into the main campus,鈥� she said.

Students transferring from SA国际传媒 to MBU typically are seeking teaching degrees or business-related degrees. MBU also offers a variety of other degree programs.
