RADNOR, Pa. (Dec. 18, 2014) — At signing events on Dec. 16 and 17, Cabrini officially forged new partnerships with eight Pennsylvania high schools and La Salle University. The partnerships are in effect for the 2014–15 academic year.
“Partnerships are the future of education,” said Cabrini President Donald B. Taylor, Ph.D. “The collaboration with our partner schools expands Cabrini’s commitment to students and helps them get ahead in their college and professional careers.”
On Tuesday, Dec. 16, Cabrini welcomed high school administrators from AIM Academy, Archbishop Carroll High School, Bethlehem Catholic High School, Cardinal O’Hara High School, Hill Top Preparatory, Monsignor Bonner & Archbishop Prendergast Catholic High School, Pope John Paul II High School, and Woodlynde School. Also present were representatives from the Archdiocese of Philadelphia.
Through the partnership, Cabrini offers junior and senior students from these high schools the opportunity to earn up to 30 college credits through dual credit, summer programming, and additional educational programs.
On Wednesday, Dec. 17—less than 24 hours later—Cabrini and La Salle University signed into effect a 4+1 MBA program.
The partnership allows Cabrini business majors or students in the pre-cert MBA track to apply and enroll in the La Salle University MBA program, which can be completed in one year (after students graduate from Cabrini).
Participating Cabrini students will develop close ties with La Salle University during their undergraduate courses and an understanding of the requirements of an MBA degree.
