White Earth Tribal and Community College Enters into Dual Admissions Program with 7 Minnesota Colleges

Mahnomen (KDLM) – White Earth Tribal and Community College (WETCC) has entered into a Dual Admissions program, known as an Articulation Agreements with seven Minnesota Colleges.

Bemidji State University, Metropolitan State University, Minnesota State University Mankato, Minnesota State University Moorhead, Southwest Minnesota State University, St. Cloud State University, and Winona State University will allow eligible White Earth Tribal and Community College students an opportunity to be dually admitted in both WETCC and one of the universities listed. Students who attend WETCC will also have the opportunity to be admitted into the university as a junior after completing their AA degree at WETCC.

The agreement will open the door for students to easily transfer to a four-year college or university said a press release. “We thank Chancellor Devinder Malhotra and Senior Vice Chancellor for Academic and Student Affairs Ron Anderson for the efforts made to bridge the divide between our colleges and make the transition to the Minnesota University system seamless for our students” said WETCC President Lorna LaGue.

“We are creating pathways that our students can follow by establishing these partnerships,” said WETCC Academic Dean Brian Dingmann, “and hopefully, provide a more comfortable educational journey.”
