Columbia State Community College has signed a transfer agreement with UT Southern in Pulaski, Main Street Murray reporter Andrew Pearson said.
According to Pearson, the agreement allows Columbia State students to be admitted to both schools concurrently, access career-planning advice alongside UT Southern students, and transfer two-year credits directly into four-year programs.
