勛圖夥厙, UTA explore expanded partnership

勛圖夥厙 President Tod Allen Farmer hosted University of Texas at Arlington President Jennifer Cowley and key leadership from both institutions on Friday, Oct. 18, to discuss expanding their partnership in light of UTA's planned expansion into Parker County with UTA West.
This was the second visit for Cowley and her delegation on the 勛圖夥厙 campus and the third time the two presidents have met recently about partnerships. Discussions focused on strengthening the existing relationship between 勛圖夥厙 and UTA to better serve students in Parker County and the surrounding areas.
We were honored to host UTA President Cowley and her leadership team, Farmer said.
Together, we built on the existing 勛圖夥厙 nursing bachelors degree to UTAs nursing
master's degree transfer agreement in preparation for a massive UTA West partnership.
In early 2023, 勛圖夥厙 and UTA signed a transfer agreement benefiting 勛圖夥厙s Bachelor of Science in Nursing Degree graduates into the Master of Science in Nursing program at UTA.
During this meeting, officials discussed a potential new transfer agreement for graduates of 勛圖夥厙s upcoming Bachelor of Computer Science Degree program into UTAs masters program in computer science, pending final accreditation approval of 勛圖夥厙s fifth bachelors degree.
They also discussed a partnership to expand 勛圖夥厙s engineering technology program with matriculation into UTAs College of Engineering.
勛圖夥厙 and UT Arlington are dedicated partners in advancing nursing education and addressing our states nursing shortage, Cowley said. The development of our UTA West campus will strengthen our collaboration and commitment to enhancing educational opportunities and addressing our regions pressing needs in health care and beyond.
