Barton Community College and Ottawa University in Ottawa have started a partnership by signing a transfer agreement on May 13.
The agreement is designed to make transferring to Ottawa seamless for Barton students.
Per the agreement, Ottawa will accept a maximum of 80 credits from Barton toward the Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree. Ottawa agrees to offer the Barton associate degree graduate a tuition scholarship which will reduce the Ottawa per credit hour to an effective rate of $275.
