February 08, 2019

The University of Holy Cross (UHC) and Delgado Community College have signed an agreement with the goal of making it easier for students to transfer into UHC’s Bachelor of Science in Culinology within the Food Science Program.

The agreement was announced and signed today by UHC President Dr. David “Buck” Landry, Delgado Interim Chancellor Dr. William Wainwright, UHC Provost and Vice President of Academic Affairs Dr. Victoria Dahmes, and Delgado Interim Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs and Provost Dr. Mostofa Sarwar.

With the execution of the agreement, students with Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.) degrees in the Culinary Arts (Professional Culinarian) and Culinary Management Programs of Delgado will receive UHC college credits for those degrees. Students from Delgado may transfer up to 57 of their 60 A.A.S. credits to UHC, allowing them to seamlessly transition on as juniors to a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree in Culinology.

This articulation agreement marks the fifth articulation agreement between UHC and Delgado adding to the agreements for Accounting, Biological and Physical Sciences, Business Administration, and Health Sciences/Respiratory Therapy.

UHC also has existing articulation agreements with Nunez Community College, Northshore Technical Community College, and Federal University of Espirito Santo in Vitoria, Brazil.
