On Monday, April 27, Alfred University and the Golisano Institute for Business and Entrepreneurship announced an agreement on a new degree program. Eligible students who graduate from the institute’s certificate programs get the option to pursue a bachelor’s degree in business administration or business analytics at Alfred.
Students who qualify must apply within four years of completing the program at the institute and meet other university criteria.
“The Golisano Institute shares our commitment to hands-on, applied learning and preparing students for meaningful careers,” said Mark Zupan, president of Alfred University. “This partnership creates a clear, accessible pathway for students to continue building their skills, gain a four-year degree, and position themselves for long-term success in business and analytics.”
“Partnering with Alfred University gives our students another incredible opportunity to potentially continue their education beyond our program,” said Ian Mortimer, president of Golisano Institute for Business & Entrepreneurship. “The school is known for its exceptionally high rate of students securing jobs or being enrolled in graduate school within a year of graduation, and we’re excited for our students to have a chance to be part of that success.”
Students who graduate from the Golisano Institute’s certificate program will be automatically accepted to Alfred University if they choose to continue their education. They will transfer to Alfred as juniors.
The Golisano Institute also partners with Nazareth University, St. Bonaventure University, St. John Fisher University, Syracuse University, College of Professional Studies, Roberts Wesleyan University, Alfred State College, Daemen University, and Niagara University.
