COLLABORATION ON THE HOME FRONT: K-STATE AT SALINA SIGNS 2+2 AGREEMENTS WITH MANHATTAN AREA TECHNICAL COLLEGE

MANHATTAN -- Kansas State University currently has more than 40 2+2 agreements with colleges throughout Kansas and other states, with some collaborations taking place right in Manhattan.

K-State signed two 2+2 agreements with Manhattan Area Technical College May 8 on the school's campus. The agreements allow students to obtain an associate of applied science degree from the technical college and then complete a bachelor's degree from K-State through distance education.

The signing included the following agreements: associate of applied science in computer-aided drafting technology and bachelor's degree in technology management; and associate of applied science in information and network technology and bachelor's degree in technology management. The bachelor's programs are offered through Kansas State University at Salina.

K-State representatives at the signing included Dennis Kuhlman, dean of K-State at Salina; Betty Stevens, associate dean of continuing education and associate vice provost for information technology partnerships; and David Stewart, assistant dean of continuing education.

Manhattan Area Technical College representatives at the signing included Robert Edleston, president and chief executive officer, and various faculty, staff and students from the school's computer-aided drafting technology and information network technology programs.
