Month: July 2025

Crowley’s Ridge College and Black River Technical College entered into a formal articulation agreement on Thursday, July 10, 2025 on the campus of CRC in Paragould, Arkansas. By entering into this agreement, CRC and BRTC express their mutual commitment to serve students in their respective areas by providing high quality educational programs and services.

The purpose of this articulation agreement is to assist students in making a seamless transfer from BRTC’s Associate of Science in Business program to CRC’s Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and Marketing programs by clarifying transfer policies and procedures between both programs.

“Black River Technical College is grateful to partner with Crowley’s Ridge College, as both institutions strive to serve their students and surrounding communities,” states Vice President for Academic Affairs Brad Baine. “The proximity of our two colleges will help students maintain their local community involvement and professional responsibilities as they complete their respective degrees.” 

The agreement is entered into the academic year 2025-2026 and remains in effect henceforth. This agreement will be reviewed every five years to ensure currency with the respective degree requirements.
