Tiffin University has expanded its relationship with Marion Technical College (MTC) 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.
Benefit to Students
Participants save both time and money through the credit transferral process. With DragonNext, admitted students are guaranteed the option to transfer up to 60 credits from an associates 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. Students also have access to services and programs at both schools including: career services, libraries, tutoring, athletic events, student activities and more.
How it Works
Applicants with a minimum of 12 transferrable credits and a cumulative college GPA of 2.0 or higher are eligible to apply to DragonNext. Acceptance into the program requires approval from both TU and the partnering institution.
“We are thrilled to continue expanding the DragonNext program,” stated Dr. Peter J. Holbrook, Provost and Chief Academic Officer of Tiffin University. “This partnership with Marion Technical College emphasizes our dedication to facilitating a smooth progression for students seeking to advance from associate’s to bachelor’s degrees. With a continued emphasis on student success, we’re paving the way to enhance opportunities and transform lives through this partnership.”
“This exciting collaboration between Tiffin University and Marion Technical College through the DragonNext partnership promises substantial savings for students,” said Kelly Petrosino, DragonNext Program Manager. “Smooth transitions into our diverse range of bachelor’s degree programs are now more accessible than ever. Guiding students toward their educational aspirations with efficiency and care remains a top priority, and seeing this partnership flourish in empowering students to reach their full potential brings me immense joy.”
