UM, Bishop State Partner

The University of Mobile (UM) has established a new articulation agreement with Mobile-based Bishop State Community College, creating a streamlined path for students to earn a BS in child and social development. This agreement allows Bishop State students to transfer up to 62 credit hours toward the 124-credit-hour degree at UM, significantly reducing both the time and cost needed to complete their four-year degree. “Students who complete the required coursework at Bishop State and meet UM’s admissions criteria will benefit from a seamless and supportive transfer process into the UM School of Education’s child and social development program,” UM said. This program is a non-certification degree that prepares graduates to teach and lead in pre-K programs at private, religious and federal sites. Graduates may also pursue careers in civic, social or religious organizations; hospitals or nonprofit organizations; or family and community services.
