Jackson State Community College (JSCC) and the University of Tennessee at Martin (UTM) have finalized a dual admissions agreement. This agreement will start in Fall 2024 and was announced on April 3 at JSCC's main campus. It aims to make it easier for students to transfer and keep their credits between the two schools.

The agreement encourages students to continue their education by simplifying the credit transfer process. Students at JSCC can use some UTM services from their first year and take advanced courses usually offered in four-year programs. This plan aims to improve educational opportunities for students in West Tennessee.

Dr. Carol Rothstein, President of JSCC, stated that the agreement supports a flexible educational environment and meets various student needs. It helps students either continue their education after JSCC or study at UTM while living at home, aligning with their academic and career goals.

The agreement includes several program options at the UT Martin-Jackson Center, covering areas like Agricultural Business, Criminal Justice, and Education. There are plans to increase these options, enhancing student choices and specialization opportunities.
