UTICA, N.Y. — SUNY Polytechnic Institute (SUNY Poly) and Mohawk Valley Community College (MVCC) on Friday expanded an existing agreement that allows MVCC graduates to “easily continue their education at SUNY Poly.”
It was part of a ceremony held Friday at MVCC’s thINCubator in Utica.
Under the expanded agreement, qualified graduating students from every program at MVCC are encouraged to discover their “Path to Poly,” SUNY Poly said in a news release.
The new agreement builds upon “more than a dozen agreements that were already in place,” Tim Scee, public affairs specialist at SUNY Poly, said in an email reply to a BJNN inquiry.
Over 50 paths have been created or updated, allowing MVCC graduates to earn a bachelor’s degree at SUNY Poly in two years, or four semesters. This expanded agreement is just “one of several” Paths to Poly for MVCC students, which also includes a dual-admissions program.
The expanded “Path to Poly” program provides students with support throughout their time enrolled at MVCC. It includes the involvement of staff members who will guide students through the registration and enrollment processes. Students who enroll at MVCC beginning in this fall will be able to follow the new advising guides to pursue this updated option.
