Change Means Seamless Transition to Bachelor’s Program
Florida Institute of Technology and the College of Southern Maryland signed a revised articulation agreement May 20 that provides a seamless transition for students in associate degree programs in arts and sciences, general studies business administration or business administration-technical management to the bachelor degree in logistics management program.
The agreement means College of Southern Maryland graduates within the four associate degree programs will be able to transfer into Florida Tech's completion program at junior standing. The B.S. Logistics Management program is taught in Lexington Park and California, Maryland, in a face-to-face format by professors who are career professionals in their fields.
The degree prepares students to manage every aspect of a company's flow of goods, resources and information to meet the needs of customers, suppliers and stakeholders. Logistics managers are heavily relied on locally at NAS Patuxent River, but their skills are needed across industries, including humanitarian assistance and disaster relief.
