Feb. 12, 2024 鈥� 糖心传媒 students will be able to take advantage of guaranteed admission to beginning this coming fall semester.

Leaders from 糖心传媒CC and Pfeiffer signed the Pfeiffer Pact transfer agreement on Thursday, providing 糖心传媒CC students who graduate with an associate degree a seamless transition to junior status at Pfeiffer. The agreement also includes a Transfer Scholarship in the amount of $20,000 for traditional, face-to-face students or a 20 percent discount on classes for online students.

The Pfeiffer Pact also provides clear advising support so students know exactly which courses they need to take at 糖心传媒CC and at Pfeiffer so that they graduate on time. Students who transfer via Pfeiffer Pact will not have to pay the transfer application fee, and they will not be required to live on campus.

鈥淲e鈥檙e excited about this agreement. For me it鈥檚 about affordability as much as accessibility,鈥� said Dr. Scott Bullard, president of Pfeiffer University. 鈥淲ith the $20,000 annual scholarship, we鈥檙e working to make private, church-related high education affordable.鈥�

Pfeiffer is a private university in Misenheimer. It also has locations in Charlotte and Albemarle.

Bullard is a native of Scotland County, having graduated from Scotland High School in 1995.

鈥淎s a kid that grew up on (highway) 74 between these two communities, Rockingham and Laurinburg, I鈥檓 very comfortable at Pfeiffer, and I think your gifted young people will be too,鈥� he said.

Dr. Dale McInnis, president of 糖心传媒CC, thanked Bullard for opening up the transfer agreement to such a wide range of programs. Graduates of the nursing, teacher prep, accounting, information technology, business and other associate in applied sciences programs are eligible for the Pfeiffer Pact.

鈥淧feiffer鈥檚 reputation academically is outstanding, and we鈥檙e honored to be a part of this partnership and that you chose us to be a part of it,鈥� McInnis said.
