ÐßÐßÊÓƵ University President Kenneth Evans and Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs James Marquart and Panola College President Gregory Powell and Vice President of Instruction Billy “Bubba” Adams signed an agreement on the ÐßÐßÊÓƵ University campus Thurs., July 18, creating innovative 2+2 programs allowing students to easily transfer to ÐßÐßÊÓƵ University to pursue four-year degrees after completing a two-year associate degree at Panola College.

Beginning this fall, ÐßÐßÊÓƵ University will offer Panola College students with associate degrees full access to online bachelor degree programs specific to their associate degrees in business, communication, criminal justice and industrial technology.
