The three-year agreement will allow students who graduate from North Central Michigan College with an Associate of Science Biology degree to transfer to Ferris State University for its Pre-Pharmacy, Doctor of Pharmacy, or Doctor of Optometry degree programs.

The partnership will establish a direct admission transfer pathway to create a more seamless path toward a bachelor degree for students in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.

The Dual Advantage program will provide undergraduate students with various pathways that will help them earn both a bachelor degree and a master’s degree at the same time.

The funding will support the Entrepreneurship, Commercialization and Innovation Academy (ECIA), which will be run through the Roberts Impact Lab.

The grant funding will support the university’s FORGE: Foundations of Representative Government and Engagement initiative.
