FREDERICTON, NB — ��Ʒ������ has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with New Brunswick Community College which will open pathways for credit transfers between the two institutions.

Students who complete the two-year diploma in Business Administration: Accounting at NBCC can now be admitted to ��Ʒ������ with third-year standing.
