Together, we empower students with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed. This partnership demonstrates our shared commitment to fostering educational excellence and community growth.”

Under the agreement, COA students will benefit from a curriculum that aligns with ECSU’s program, ensuring a smooth transition and continuity in their education. This initiative reflects both institutions’ dedication to student success and regional workforce development.
