Community college graduates and other qualified students can now pursue additional management course work thanks to a recent collaboration between UNCA and Blue Ridge Community College in Flat Rock. Two 300-level courses will be taught at Blue Ridge Community College and credits will be earned at UNCA.

The arrangement allows students who are interested in pursuing a four-year degree to begin course work close to home. "We are so pleased about this partnership with Blue Ridge Community College and hope this is the first of many collaborations," said Elaine Fox, UNCA Special Academic Programs director.
