Lake Superior College News Releases

(Duluth, Minn.) — Lake Superior College will sign an articulation agreement on June 1, 2007 with the Universidad de las Américas Puebla (UDLA), from Puebla, Mexico. The agreement will allow students to transfer from Lake Superior College to the UDLA.

LSC is the first two-year college in the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities system to negotiate an international articulation agreement. The agreement builds on the relationship between the two schools that was begun in spring 2007 when five LSC students and a faculty member spent the term studying at the UDLA. “We look forward to expanding our academic relationship with UDLA,” said Jim Berg, dean of LSC’s liberal arts and sciences. “This opportunity for our students serves our international learning mission very well.”

Representatives from the UDLA, Patricia McCoy, Director of International Affairs and Jacobo Prieto, Director of International Education and Cooperation, will be in Duluth to sign the agreement on June 1, 2007. A signing ceremony will take place in the Atrium on the LSC campus at 1 p.m.

With more than 4,800 students enrolled this spring semester, LSC is Northeastern Minnesota’s largest two-year college and a member of the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities (MnSCU) system. LSC provides a wide range of programs and services, including liberal arts and science courses for transfer, technical programs intended to provide occupational skills, continuing education, and customized training for business and industry.
