UM’s Markley reiterated the benefits that the new program will offer not only for students personally, but for the community as a whole. “Through Path4, students can complete both their two-year and four-year degrees locally on the NEMCC campus, which is convenient for those students who are already familiar with campus and want to stay closer to home.” “Most of our students are already employed, but they want to be promoted or move into positions that require a bachelor’s degree,” she said. Tam Salters, associate director of admissions at UM-Booneville, said she feels that the new Path4 program is a good investment for local students.

Students who take part in the Path4 program also have access to scholarship opportunities, joint student services and professional organizations. Path4 will allow these students to package financial aid together and maximize their award while they work toward completing a degree.” “In previous years we could not package that financial aid together and students in either situation would be left paying out of pocket. “In addition, many NEMCC students are in a position that would allow them to take a course or two at Ole Miss during their last semester at NEMCC. “Many students are often in a situation where it is in their best interest to complete a required course at NEMCC while enrolled at Ole Miss,” Markley explained.
“The Path4 program will also decrease out of pocket costs for students,” said Derek Markley, executive director of the university’s Tupelo and Booneville regional campuses. This will allow students to complete their bachelor’s degrees from Ole Miss in as short as time as possible and move into their chosen career. In the Path4 program, students have the advantage of receiving a slew of joint services including coordinated advising between the two institutions that will clearly mark the path for completing an associate degree at NEMCC that leads into a smooth transfer of academic credits to the UM-Booneville or UM-Tupelo campus. “We are thankful for the University of Mississippi offering NEMCC students the opportunity to be dual-enrolled at both institutions and receive a great education right here at home.” “When our students can get ahead of schedule for graduation it is always a great situation,” NEMCC President Ricky Ford said. The Path4 initiative, announced in May, was developed by UM and Northeast faculty and staff with the goal of giving area students a streamlined journey through their college education.
