Photo by BC Photography.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The University of Mary Washington and Germanna Community College signed an agreement Monday that creates a fast track to earning college business degrees in the Fredericksburg region. The pathway program allows students to complete both an associate\u2019s and a bachelor\u2019s degree online in about two-and-a-half years, saving time and money.<\/p>\n<p>The ultra-accelerated route provided by the two schools starts with Germanna\u2019s \u201cCollege Everywhere\u201d program, which gives students the opportunity to earn a two-year associate\u2019s degree remotely in just 12 months. Those who transfer to UMW can then finish the major in business administration, also online, within an additional 18 months.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s great news for Cheryll Mosley, a 32-year-old single mother of two from Stafford County who\u2019s nearing completion of a one-year associate\u2019s degree at Germanna. Next, she\u2019ll transfer to Mary Washington\u2019s AACSB-accredited College of Business. \u201cI know what I want, and I know how to get there. This program has really helped me grow,\u201d said Mosley, who plans to start her own business.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is all about the students,\u201d said UMW President Troy Paino. \u201cThis is about removing obstacles, creating access and opportunities, lowering costs, accelerating time to degrees. All of those things are really going to make a difference, not only in the students\u2019 lives but in our community.\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/academics.umw.edu\/registrar\/about-us\/meet-the-registrar-staff\/\">Read more<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The University of Mary Washington and Germanna Community College signed an agreement Monday that creates a fast track to earning college business degrees in the Fredericksburg region.
