Overview
Thus far, Cipriani College of Labour and Co-operative Studies has signed four Articulation Agreements; three with international institutions of higher learning and others are in the process of being worked out.
In some of the international cases, the articulation agreements have been tested. A number of our students have been accepted to pursue the Bachelor degree (distance learning primarily) in Labour Studies at the National Labor College of the George Meaney Centre for Labor Studies in Maryland. At the graduate level, another one has been accepted to pursue the Masters degree at the affiliate University of Baltimore. Our students at the under-graduate level are able to complete their Bachelor degree in two years. We await word on similar arrangements with Rutgers University, New Jersey.
In the area of Co-operative Studies, two of our students are pursuing postgraduate studies at the University of Leicester, England on the basis of their successful completion of the Associate Degree in Co-operative Studies here at the College.
Currently, discussions are being held with The Centre for Labour Market Studies of Leicester University with a view to working out an articulation arrangement between the College's Associate Degree in Human Resource Management and Leicester's Master's programmes in that area. Leicester University offers the MSc. in Training and Human Resource Management and the MSc. in Training and Performance Management. These programmes are offered on a distance learning basis.
In the case of the University of the West Indies, agreement has already been reached on the articulation of the College's Associate Degrees with certain Bachelor Degree programmes of the university. Specific exemptions have already been agreed to and more are now being identified and will soon be made available.
In December 2004 CCLCS and Monroe College signed an Articulation Agreement which allows students of Cipriani College to gain advanced admission into The Bachelor Degree in Business Administration and Business Management with an emphasis in Human Resource Management among others.
