Lewis-Clark State College and Idaho State University in Pocatello have signed a Transfer Agreement that will help LC biology graduates who qualify transfer to Idaho State’s Master of Science: Public Health program.
The program, which starts this fall, allows a qualified student to take three years of classes in LCSC’s biology program and two years in ISU’s graduate program, called a 3 -plus-2 degree program. The first-year classes at ISU will also transfer to count as the fourth year of classes at LC, enabling the student to earn their bachelor’s degree while at the same time, earning credits toward a master’s in public health.
Each year a minimum of three Lewis-Clark State students, who meet the eligibility criteria and who are deemed qualified by ISU program faculty through the application process, will be accepted. Students who are not accepted can be placed on a waiting list, which will allow them the opportunity to finish their bachelor’s degree at LCSC.
Once admitted into Idaho State’s program, a student who completes the first year of Phase II classes at ISU will have a Bachelor of Science degree in biology conferred by LC. The student must submit a graduation application to LCSC and have the application approved. (Lewis-Clark State College)
