911 Communications and Operations degree now available through agreement with RCC
KENANSVILLE – On Tuesday, Jan. 23, James Sprunt Community College, and Richmond Community College signed a partnership that will give local students the opportunity to get a 911 Communications and Operations degree.
“This agreement will allow students at James Sprunt Community College to take 38 hours of the required credits for that degree program, and then seamlessly transfer to Richmond Community College to complete the degree in an online format,” said Dr. Dustin Walston, JSCC vice president of curriculum/chief academic officer.
After completing the remaining credit hours students will be awarded an associate degree graduating from Richmond Community College. Walston shared he is excited to partner with another college because this partnership gives JSCC the ability to offer students more career options.
“It expands opportunities for our students here, where otherwise they wouldn’t have that opportunity because James Sprunt does not offer that program, nor is there necessarily the capacity to do so currently,” Walston told the Duplin Journal.
“We’re excited to provide opportunities to students in our service area of Duplin County that they otherwise wouldn’t have.”
