Thanks to an ongoing partnership with one of the country’s leading online universities, New York residents enrolled at Mohawk Valley Community College now can enjoy a lower tuition rate when they transfer to Bellevue University. 

The schools’ Premier Partner arrangement means MVCC graduates are able to bring their entire associate degree with them, putting them nearly halfway through their bachelor’s degree. All bachelor’s degree-seeking students who transfer through the partnership will be eligible for a preferred $350/credit hour tuition rate.

“This partnership creates transfer opportunities that add value to students’ lives and supports the health of their community,” Jim Nekuda, vice president of strategic partnerships for Bellevue University, said. “Students who transfer to Bellevue University can learn online. They don’t have to leave their hometowns, their families, or their jobs to commute to a distant campus.” 

“Our partnership with Bellevue University has given MVCC students an accessible and flexible option to complete their bachelor’s degree,” said MVCC President Randall J. VanWagoner. “This discounted tuition rate will allow even more students to take advantage of this opportunity without leaving the Mohawk Valley.”

Bellevue University has one full-time relationship manager, Georgia Pham, on MVCC's Utica Campus serving students who is responsible for coordinating and building programming to serve MVCC students. Pham can be contacted by email at gpham@bellevue.edu or by phone at 315-731-5848.
