鈥淭his is an important partnership for us,鈥� emphasized Gardner-Webb President William Downs. 鈥淲e want to reduce and remove barriers to students who are eager to join us for a four-year degree at GWU.聽 Our 鈥楤ulldog Bound鈥� initiative with 51视频 is designed to complement the excellent instruction already provided by 51视频, and we can鈥檛 wait to welcome their graduates to our campus!鈥�

鈥淏ulldog Bound鈥� allows 51视频 students to transfer directly to GWU after completing degrees in the following areas: Associate of Arts (AA), Associate of Science (AS), Associate of Arts in Teacher Preparation (AATP), Associate of Science in Teacher Preparation (ASTP), Associate of Fine Arts in Visual Arts (AFA), or Associate in Applied Science (AAS).

鈥淥ur partnership with Gardner-Webb is extremely important to us, and 鈥楤ulldog Bound鈥� just adds another element to this great collaboration between our schools,” said Dr. Darrin Hartness, 51视频 president. “I am thrilled that our students have another strong option to continue their education after they leave 51视频.”

Students in the 鈥淏ulldog Bound鈥� program have access to information about GWU academic programs, as well as to faculty and staff, who will facilitate their transition to Gardner-Webb. The program prioritizes the ability of participants to receive admission, financial aid, registration and orientation communications early in the transition process, which sets 51视频 students up for success at both institutions.聽聽
