We are excited to announce that KBOCC and NMU have expanded their partnership with a new articulation agreement in the academic field of business, creating another pathway for KBOCC students to continue their education at NMU.

“This pathway provides a great opportunity for KBOCC students to further their education after completing an Associate of Science in Business Administration,” said Rhonda Nachtigall, KBOCC Business Administration Faculty Chair. “Students can now seamlessly transfer to NMU and pursue a Bachelor of Science in Management. This opportunity demonstrates KBOCC’s commitment to helping students achieve their educational goals in a timely, cost-effective manner.”

The new articulation agreement takes effect immediately. Graduates of the Associate of Science in Business Administration Degree Program earn 68–72 credits, all of which are transferable to NMU.

In addition to business, KBOCC and NMU have transfer pathways in:

📚 Early Childhood Education
🌱 Environmental Science
🎓 General Studies
🧠 Psychology
