IRONWOOD - Gogebic Community College and Northern Michigan University have entered into an agreement designed to provide a seamless pathway for transfer students to embark on bachelor's degrees.  In conjunction with this new program, GCC has also created a permanent NMU satellite office on its Ironwood campus for NMU Admissions and recruitment events with academic departments.  In the direct admission program, GCC students will be admitted to NMU during their time at GCC allowing students to more or less be at both institutions simultaneously. The program aims to eliminate barriers for transfer students, promote student wellbeing, enhance transfer student connections to the Marquette and campus community and guide efficient, effective student use of resources at both institutions. The agreement serves as a bridge between the two institutions by facilitating student entry or re-entry into a bachelor's degree program at Northern, with the goal of increasing transfer student retention and graduation rates.
