SACKVILLE, NB — Mount Allison University and New Brunswick Community College (NBCC) have signed a new agreement that will create a more direct pathway for NBCC Business Administration Accounting diploma graduates to achieve a Bachelor of Commerce from Mount Allison.

The five-year agreement allows eligible students who have completed NBCC’s two-year Business Administration Accounting diploma to transfer into Mount Allison’s Bachelor of Commerce degree program with up to 60 transfer credits. Under the agreement, students would be able to complete their Bachelor of Commerce degree at Mount Allison in two years, or four academic terms, of full-time study.

The agreement is part of a broader Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the two institutions. Together, NBCC and Mount Allison are working to create practical, student-centred pathways that recognize previous learning, reduce administrative complexity, and help students plan their post-secondary journeys with greater confidence.

 

“This agreement reflects Mount Allison’s commitment to supporting students at different stages of their education and creating more flexible pathways into our academic programs,” says Mount Allison’s Provost and Vice-President, Academic and Research Dr. Richard Isnor. “NBCC students bring strong applied learning, professional preparation, and valuable experience. We are pleased to work with NBCC to help these students build on that foundation through a Mount Allison Bachelor of Commerce degree.”

Both institutions will collaborate on maintaining and sharing information about the agreement with students, advisors, faculty, administrators, and other relevant offices. The agreement will also be reviewed annually to assess its effectiveness and ensure it continues to meet the needs of transfer students.

“Partnerships between postsecondary institutions like NBCC and Mount Allison are essential in supporting student mobility and expanding opportunities for learners,” says NBCC’s Vice President Academic, Innovation and Student Affairs, Ann Drennan “By working together, we can create more seamless pathways that allow students to pursue their educational and career goals, while benefitting from the strengths and expertise of both institutions.”
