Tiffin University and Edison State Community College (ESCC) have expanded their ongoing relationship through the DragonNext expedited degree completion program.
DragonNext allows enrolled students to begin academic careers at any of Tiffin University’s partnered two-year colleges, before finishing bachelor’s degrees through TU at a discounted tuition rate and on an accelerated timeline.
Benefit to Students
Participants save both time and money through the credit transferal process. With DragonNext, admitted students are guaranteed the option to transfer up to 60 credits from an associate’s degree toward the completion of a four-year degree at TU. On-campus participants are eligible for merit scholarships of $16,000 annually, and online students may receive a tuition discount of $150 per credit hour. Relevant students may also be eligible for transfer scholarships upon completion of an associate’s degree.
How It Works
All applicants with a minimum of 12 transferrable credits are able to apply for DragonNext admission. Participants must be accepted by both TU and ESCC.
“We are thrilled to expand the DragonNext program with our longtime partner,” said Tiffin University President, Dr. Lillian Schumacher. “There is no doubt in my mind that this will be beneficial for both institutions. Most importantly, higher education being made more accessible will surely be advantageous to many deserving students.”
“Striving for the ongoing growth of the DragonNext brand, Tiffin University is pleased to declare its collaboration with Edison State Community College,” said Kelly Petrosino, Manager of Extended Learning and DragonNext. “Engaging with students to discuss earning bachelor’s degrees in the most streamlined manner possible brings me immense joy. Articulating the value of a high-quality education at a manageable cost has genuinely evolved into my ultimate passion.”
