Grant Summary
$400,000 over 48 months to the Ohio Foundation of Independent Colleges and Council of Independent Colleges to establish the Ohio Consortium for Transfer Pathways to the Liberal Arts, where all participating independent colleges will accept the Ohio Transfer Module, the general education curriculum that is transferrable to public four-year institutions, and establish three discipline-specific transfer pathways in English, psychology, and biology, drawing on the Transfer Assurance Guides developed for transfer to public four-year institutions, such that students will arrive with junior status in their majors and a guarantee to graduate with the baccalaureate within two years. The consortium will involve 14 independent colleges and will work in close partnership with the Ohio Department of Higher Education, which oversees all community colleges in the state.
