“We are pleased to enter into these agreements with CV-TEC,” said Dr. Maurice Hickey, CCC president. “These opportunities will allow individuals to start their career at CV-TEC and seamlessly transfer to Clinton to earn a technical degree.”

Dr. Barry Mack added, "This agreement allows students a great opportunity to earn a full semester of college credit while at CV-TEC. Students can get up to 12 credits at CCC for work done at CV-TEC.”
Dr. Paul Almonte, vice president of academic affairs at Clinton added that he was, “particularly appreciative of Professors Ford and Poland’s collaborative efforts with their CV-TEC counterparts in developing the agreement and ensuring curricular consistency and high standards for these courses.”
