New agreements between SUNY Potsdam and SUNY Adirondack are paving the way for smooth, guaranteed transfers of Adirondack graduates into Bachelor of Art degree programs in theatre and arts management at Potsdam.
\nThe SUNY Potsdam baccalaureate programs in theatre and arts management will open their doors to all Adirondack graduates holding associate degrees in humanities and social science, as well of those holding individual studies degrees, officials said.
\nThe agreements were finalized in July by SUNY Adirondack President Dr. Kristine Duffy and SUNY Potsdam President Dr. Kristin G. Esterberg.
\n\u201cWe are proud to partner with our colleagues at SUNY Potsdam to add more direct transfer pathways for our students interested in the theatre arts. We share a commitment to advancing a student\u2019s education through small classes, rigorous support and high-quality faculty,\u201d said SUNY Adirondack President Dr. Kristine Duffy.
\nSUNY Adirondack and SUNY Potsdam are working together to give individual attention to students who are interested in this opportunity\u2014including advising and degree planning support\u2014to help students take appropriate coursework and stay on track for timely degree completion, with two years at Adirondack and two at Potsdam.
\nApplication fees are waived, and qualified students will have access to transfer scholarships as well.
\n\u201cWe welcome these students from SUNY Adirondack, who come well prepared to complete their degrees in the dynamic fields of arts management and theatre,\u201d said SUNY Potsdam President Dr. Kristin G. Esterberg. \u201cThese transfer agreements are good for everyone, and especially students, who can easily see how their two-year associate degree programs link directly with Potsdam\u2019s bachelor\u2019s degree programs.\u201d
\n\u201cThe faculty involved in these agreements really play that crucial role in forging strong and sustainable partnerships, putting highly qualified transfer students in a position to benefit from the rigor of continuing their undergraduate work at Potsdam. We look forward to welcoming students into the theatre and arts management programs, two of our dynamic arts fields of study here at SUNY Potsdam,\u201d said SUNY Potsdam School of Arts and Sciences Dean Dr. Gretchen Galbraith.
