?The partnership between Northeast Texas Community College and Texas A&M University-Texarkana exemplifies the way that institutions of higher learning can?and should?work together to raise the educational attainment level of a region. At A&M-Texarkana, we are very pleased with the way we?ve been able to collaborate with colleagues at NTCC to provide an outstanding academic experience for our students,? stated, Dr. Emily Cutrer.
?Our students have benefitted greatly by the ability to complete their baccalaureate degrees right on our campus during recent years.† I am so pleased that Dr. Cutrer has renewed her intention to maintain this important opportunity in the future,? Dr. Johnson said.
Students start with NTCC by completing an associate?s degree and then finish with A&M-Texarkana at the NTCC campus.† For more information about A&M-Texarkana at NTCC degrees or a presentation about A&M-Texarkana at NTCC programs, please contact†kelly.coke@tamut.edu††or 903-434-8357 or visit†www.tamut.edu††and click on NTCC.
