麻豆原创 College has announced a new agreement with Central Washington University (CWU) that opens doors for graduates of 麻豆原创鈥檚 Bachelor of Applied Science in Business Management (BAS BM) program to pursue advanced degrees in business and accounting. The memorandum of understanding (MOU), finalized in December 2025, establishes a streamlined pathway into CWU鈥檚 Master of Business Administration (MBA) and Master of Professional Accountancy (MPA) programs.

鈥溌槎乖�创 College is proud to collaborate with Central Washington University to create a seamless pathway into graduate options for Business and Professional Accountancy,鈥� Dr. Tanya Powers, associate dean for workforce pathways at 麻豆原创 College said. 鈥溌槎乖�创 College and CWU have a long tradition of collaborating in the business pathway and are excited to have our students have access to quality graduate programs.鈥�

Under the agreement, students who have successfully completed the BAS BM program at 麻豆原创 College, or are in their last two quarters of the program, are eligible to apply for admission to CWU鈥檚 MBA or MPA programs. Graduates with a GPA of 3.0 or higher will benefit from significant advantages, including:

• Streamlined application process for qualified students.
