Northern Marianas College has fostered partnerships with various institutions in fiscal year 2005, NMC president Antonio Deleon Guerrero has reported.<\/p>\n
In May 2005, Deleon Guerrero and Dean Vance Riley from the College of Business Administration at the University of Hawaii-Manoa signed an agreement allowing UH-Manoa to provide business courses through the local college.<\/p>\n
According to Deleon Guerrero, the inter-institutional agreement was made possible with the assistance of UH-Manoa\u2019s Pacific Business Center Program.<\/p>\n
\u00c5gThis cooperative agreement will expand opportunities for CNMI residents and NMC graduates to advance their studies for business leadership beyond the associate degree level,\u00c5h the college president said.<\/p>\n
Earlier this month, NMC also signed an agreement with another Hawaii-based institution, Argosy University.<\/p>\n
The partnership will allow local teachers, principals, and other professionals to obtain a doctor\u2019s degree in education and bachelor\u2019s degree in business administration from Argosy University by attending classes at NMC.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, through a partnership between the NMC Social Sciences and Fine Arts Department and the CNMI Department of Corrections, 26 graduates received certificates in criminal justice on Nov. 30, 2005.<\/p>\n
