Mary Baldwin College, a private four-year college in Virginia, has entered an agreement for a guaranteed admission transfer program with the Virginia Community College System.

Mary Baldwin College President Pamela Fox and VCCS Chancellor Glenn DuBois approved an agreement that provides for guaranteed admission to the on-campus residential college or the adult degree program at Mary Baldwin for community college students who obtain a transfer-oriented associate’s degree.

“Mary Baldwin has had close relationships with specific community colleges where we have regional offices, but this agreement allows us to extend those connections throughout the system of Virginia’s 23 community colleges,” said Dr. Fox. “We are so pleased to partner with the VCCS to enhance the educational opportunities for its graduates turning their two-year degrees into four-year degrees.”

“This gives community college students one more avenue to success,” added Chancellor DuBois. “Mary Baldwin is a tremendous partner with our colleges, especially in the Shenandoah Valley. We look forward to working with them even more closely for the benefit of our students and their families.”

Those who qualify will have completed a transfer-oriented associate’s degree program with at least a 2.5 cumulative grade-point-average (GPA). In addition, students must have earned a grade of “C” or better in each community college course that is part of the degree program.
