There is a new Northwest Iowa community college system that can smooth the process for students to take certain courses from the three public state universities.
In a press release, Iowa Iowa Lakes Community College in Estherville announced joining the Western Iowa Regents Resource Center network this week.
That initiative gives students access to help and resources when planning their transfer and entering programs at the University of Iowa, Iowa State University or University of Northern Iowa.
“This partnership demonstrates our shared commitment to removing barriers and creating clear, affordable pathways for students who want to continue their education at Iowa’s public universities,” ILCC President Scott Stokes said.
Through the Western Iowa Resource Center, there are 14 undergraduate certificates, 22 undergraduate degree programs and 70 graduate degrees offered online by Iowa, UNI and ISU.
The Western Iowa Regents Resource Center has partnered with Northwest Iowa Community College in Spencer and Western Iowa Tech Community College in Sioux City.
