Officials from both institutions recently established an agreement for Bevill State ’s participation with the eConnection 3-4 program. Bevill State is the first community college in Alabama to partner with Troy University in this new program.
Troy University’s eConnection 3-4 program was designed specifically for community college students who are interested in pursuing a higher level of postsecondary education.
Through this program, students may obtain the courses needed to complete the third and fourth year of college through Troy University ’s eCampus. There are over 20 online degrees available through eCampus including business administration, resource and technology management, computer science, criminal justice, sport and fitness management, political science, psychology, and social science.
“I am excited about our partnership with Bevill State Community College for our eConnection 3-4 program, ” said Dr. Deb Gearhart, director of eCampus. “It will provide opportunities for students to continue their education that is convenient and flexible to meet the demands of their everyday lives. ”
The eConnection program will also provide Bevill State students with access to a community college relations coordinator. One day each week, this coordinator will be available on Bevill State campuses to assist students with program information as well as transfer, financial assistance, and admissions information for Troy University.
“One of Bevill State’s primary missions is to provide access to higher education,” said Neal Morrison, interim President of Bevill State Community College. “This is an excellent opportunity for students in our area to achieve the goal of a baccalaureate or master ’s degree.”
Bevill State has agreed to provide computer access to students enrolled in the eConnection 3-4 program. “There are many students in rural areas that do not have high-speed Internet access and that can be a detriment to their studies, ” Morrison said. “We will designate space in our computer labs for students participating in this program. ”
For additional information about the eConnection program contact Jerry Dollar, BSCC Associate Dean of Academic Transfer, at 1-800-648-3271, ext. 5793.
