Wake Tech and Campbell University have formed an educational partnership to facilitate a smooth transition for students moving from an associate degree to a bachelor's degree. This partnership was established through a Memorandum of Understanding signed at Wake Tech's Scott Northern Wake Campus in Raleigh, North Carolina. It introduces the Campbell Assured Admission Program, guaranteeing Wake Tech graduates admission to Campbell University.

The partnership is designed for students at Wake Tech who are completing degrees in Arts, Science, or specialized fields like Criminal Justice Technology or Biopharmaceutical Technology. To use the guaranteed admission, students must enroll at Campbell within a year of graduating. This effort is part of the broader Independent Comprehensive Articulation Agreement (ICAA), which aims to improve the educational paths of community college graduates.

Campbell University will support these students through advising on admissions and financial aid, and by keeping in touch regularly. The program also invites students to join various campus events at Campbell, helping them integrate into the university community.

Dr. Scott Ralls, President of Wake Tech, stated that this partnership creates new academic opportunities for students and provides a clear pathway for further education. He noted that Wake Tech’s programs align well with Campbell’s offerings in engineering, biological sciences, health care, and business, which are vital for the regional economy and students' career goals.
