III.UPDATES
This agreement is developed using the 2017-2018 NCMC Academic Catalog, the 2017·18 CC Academic Catalog and the 2017 General Articulation Agreement between the two institutions. The very nature of higher education results in periodic curriculum changes. Should these changes occur to either the NCMC AON or the CC BS Business Administration, the institution with the change will notify the partner Institution and a new Education Plan will be developed, as necessary.
