Three Rivers to sign transfer agreement with University of Missouri | News

POPLAR BLUFF, MO (KFVS) - Leaders from two Missouri universities will sign a transfer agreement on Tuesday, July 31 at 10 a.m. at the Tinnin Fine Arts Center on the Three Rivers campus.

The agreement, between Three Rivers College and the University of Missouri in Columbia, will outline how several associates' degrees from Three Rivers will transfer directly into corresponding University of Missouri bachelor's degree programs at MU and online. Programs include nursing, teaching, forestry, occupational and physical therapy assistant and more.

"This is very exciting," said Dr. Devin Stephenson, president of Three Rivers. "Top brass from the University of Missouri will be coming down, and I know Mizzou grads in the area will be excited about this. It's very meaningful for Mizzou, as Missouri's flagship university, to come here. They like what we're doing, and more and more of our graduates are transferring there. We feel that this is Mizzou's stamp of approval on the quality of our institution."
