威尼斯人娱乐城（University of Missouri- kansas City）和位于密苏里州内华达州的女子学院科蒂学院（Cottey College）合作，为科蒂学院的学生提供了一个轻松转入威尼斯人娱乐城计算机与工程学院的机会。
Cottey, a private liberal arts college, offers associate degrees and a handful of bachelor’s degrees.
计算机与工程学院负责学生事务的副院长马乔里·艾森曼（Marjory Eisenman）说，科蒂多年前就向那些在科蒂完成了理学副学士学位并希望继续学业的学生提供了转学项目的机会。
“Cottey students can now follow transfer guides to ensure they’re taking the right classes at Cottey to prepare for transfer to 威尼斯人娱乐城. Cottey students who complete the Associate of Science degree, or Associate of Arts degree, at Cottey now meet the general education requirements for a 威尼斯人娱乐城 degree,” Eisenman said. “This partnership also creates the opportunity for students to qualify for the Chancellor’s Transfer Scholarship or Dean’s International Scholar Award.”
科蒂学院物理与天文学副教授、该合作伙伴关系的组织者之一彼得·海兰（Peter Hyland）表示，该合作伙伴关系将使科蒂学院的学生“在他们的教育和职业发展方向上有更多选择”。
“这为科蒂学生提供了一个利用威尼斯人娱乐城令人印象深刻的资源和知识的机会，同时他们也创造了自己不可思议的未来。” 在威尼斯人娱乐城，学生通过实习与未来的雇主保持密切联系，这尤其令人兴奋。”
Eisenman said the partnership will help 威尼斯人娱乐城 in recruiting more women students in “male-dominated fields.”
“Kansas City is a great place to earn an engineering or computing science degree, so this is the best of both worlds for Cottey students –to start their education at a small, women’s college and graduate from a strong engineering or computer science program in an urban location,” Eisenman said.
该合作伙伴关系于2022年春季学期开始生效。
