THOMASVILLE- Southern Regional Technical College is pleased to announce a new articulation agreement with the University of West Alabama, establishing a clear pathway for SRTC graduates to pursue advanced degrees in natural resource management and related fields.

The agreement specifically benefits students in SRTC’s Land, Forest, and Wildlife Management Program, allowing them to transfer credits seamlessly to UWA’s corresponding degree programs. Students will have the flexibility to continue their education either online or on UWA’s campus, building upon the foundational knowledge and skills developed at SRTC.

“This partnership represents a significant opportunity for our students to advance their education and career prospects in land, forest, and wildlife management,” said Jim Glass, President of Southern Regional Technical College. “By creating this clear pathway to a four-year degree, we’re helping our graduates achieve their educational and professional goals more efficiently.”

The collaboration includes comprehensive advising services from both institutions, ensuring students receive guidance on course selection, academic progression, and career development throughout their educational journey. This support system helps facilitate a smooth transition between the two institutions and sets students up for success in their chosen field.

Graduates of this program will be prepared for diverse career opportunities in land management, wildlife conservation, and environmental science. The agreement particularly benefits students interested in pursuing careers in natural resource management, where advanced education can lead to expanded professional opportunities.
